Accupro 12182707 Square End Mill 0.0787 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182707 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin carbide with a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating, this tool delivers extended wear resistance and performs well in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The stub-length profile provides rigidity in tight setups, and the 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation. At 0.0787 inches (2.00 mm) in diameter with a 0.1575-inch (4.00 mm) length of cut, this is a small-diameter tool suited for fine-feature milling. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations requiring tight tolerances in small-scale features. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. The right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional CNC spindle rotation. The stub length and 3.00 mm shank diameter keep deflection minimal when milling at this diameter range, making it a practical choice for detail work in molds, dies, and precision components.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters
• TiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces tool wear in ferrous materials
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Stub-length geometry minimizes deflection in precision small-diameter applications
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard CNC spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit option for standard CNC machining center toolholders accepting a 3.00 mm shank diameter in stub-length square end mill configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, powered-down state before changing tooling. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder matching the 3.00 mm shank diameter, and verify runout with a dial indicator before production runs. At this diameter, even minor runout or improper clamping can cause tool breakage.
