Accupro 12182480 Square End Mill 0.2756 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182480 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It features a 0.2756-inch (7.00 mm) cutting diameter, a 0.748-inch length of cut, and four spiral flutes ground from micrograin carbide stock. The AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in dry or semi-dry cutting environments. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces chatter during aggressive cuts. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations on steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, making it a practical choice for pocketing operations without a pre-drilled pilot hole. With a right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration, it is compatible with standard CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The regular-length format fits most standard toolholders with an 8.00 mm (0.315-inch) shank diameter and an overall length of 63.00 mm (2.480 inches).

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature performance and extended tool life
• 40-degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Four flutes provide a balance of material removal rate and surface finish
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for standard CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting an 8.00 mm shank diameter end mill with a regular-length profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the toolholder and torque the set screw or collet to the toolholder specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before use and verify runout with a dial indicator if tight tolerances are required.
