Accupro 12182562 Square End Mill 13/32 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182562 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and engineered plastics. Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers consistent cutting performance and edge retention in demanding machining environments. The 4-flute geometry with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. At 13/32 inch (0.4063 inches) in diameter with a 1-inch length of cut, this tool is sized for moderate-depth slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. It is centercutting, which allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production facilities are the primary users.

This end mill is suited for general-purpose milling applications on CNC machining centers and manual mills where a right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute tool is specified. The 7/16-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet systems and side-lock holders commonly found in vertical and horizontal machining centers. The regular-length configuration makes it a practical choice for most production slotting and contouring work where extended reach is not required. No coating is applied, making it straightforward to inspect for wear and compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for improved edge retention and rigidity
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a starter hole
• 4-flute configuration balances material removal rate with chip clearance
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle setups
• Uncoated finish simplifies wear inspection and supports broad coolant compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard square end mill for use in ER collet chucks, side-lock holders, and shrink-fit toolholders accepting a 7/16-inch shank diameter on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify collet or holder runout with a dial indicator before cutting to stay within the stated diameter tolerance of +0.000/-0.002 inches. Confirm the tool is seated to the full recommended gauge-length depth in the holder to prevent pullout during cuts.
