Accupro 12182708 Square End Mill 0.0787 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182708 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. It features a 0.0787 inch (2.00 mm) mill diameter with a 0.1575 inch (4.00 mm) length of cut, making it a stub-length tool suited for rigid setups where deflection must be minimized. The 4-flute, spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. An AlTiN coating provides heat and wear resistance during high-speed or dry machining of ferrous and hardened materials. Centercutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. This tool is handled by machinists and CNC operators in production and job shop settings.

This end mill is intended for milling slots, pockets, and profiles in ferrous metals, hardened steels, and similar materials where a small-diameter, high-performance carbide tool is required. The stub length type and 0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) shank diameter make it compatible with standard collet systems and tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual mills. It is well suited for fine-detail work where rigidity and dimensional accuracy are critical, particularly in tight-tolerance applications requiring consistent diameter control within the stated tolerance range.

Key Features

• 0.0787 inch (2.00 mm) mill diameter with micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in dry or high-speed machining
• 4-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for smooth cutting and chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration for standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• Stub length type provides added rigidity and reduced deflection in precision applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) shank diameter via standard collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify collet size matches the 0.1181 inch shank diameter and torque the holder per the tooling manufacturer's standard procedure. Do not exceed the tool's rated length of cut; extended reach beyond the 0.1575 inch flute length increases deflection risk and reduces tool life.
