Accupro 12182374 Square End Mill 0.118 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182374 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 0.118-inch (3.00 mm) mill diameter and a 0.4724-inch (12.00 mm) length of cut, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and contouring in tight tolerances. The TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) finish increases surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. Micrograin carbide construction provides the rigidity needed for consistent performance at higher feed rates. This end mill is installed and run by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC mills and machining centers.

This end mill is suited for regular-length milling operations requiring a small-diameter, high-performance cutting tool. The 4-flute, spiral-flute geometry with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. Centercutting capability allows for direct plunge entry into the workpiece. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation make this compatible with standard spindle configurations found on the majority of CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• 0.118-inch (3.00 mm) mill diameter with micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN finish for enhanced hardness and extended tool life
• 4-flute, spiral-flute design with 40-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry point
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute - compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• Regular length profile suitable for general-purpose slotting, profiling, and contouring

Compatibility

Designed as a standard small-diameter square end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with collet or end mill holders accepting a 3.00 mm (0.118-inch) shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Confirm spindle rotation direction matches the right-hand cut orientation before engaging the workpiece. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for tool holder retention and adhere to shop safety standards during tool changes.
