Accupro 12182712 Square End Mill 0.0984 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182712 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.0984 inch (2.50 mm) mill diameter and a 0.1969 inch (5.00 mm) length of cut, this stub-length tool is built for rigidity in tight-clearance cuts. The micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention suited to high-speed passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Four spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and a smooth cutting action. Centercutting capability allows both plunge and peripheral milling operations. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is suited for small-feature milling work where dimensional accuracy and tool rigidity are critical. The stub length format reduces deflection during cuts in confined areas or on small workpieces. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry follows standard spindle conventions for most vertical and horizontal machining centers. The uncoated finish makes this tool a practical choice for applications where regrinding is anticipated or where coatings are not required for the base material being cut.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• 4 spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows plunge milling and full peripheral cuts
• Stub length reduces tool deflection in tight or small-feature applications
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute geometry for standard spindle compatibility
• Uncoated finish suitable for regrinding or low-abrasion material applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard milling chucks, collet holders, and shrink-fit toolholders accepting a 0.1181 inch (3.00 mm) shank diameter on vertical or horizontal machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Confirm the toolholder bore matches the 0.1181 inch shank diameter and that the holder is clean and free of debris before seating the tool. Torque the set screw or collet nut to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout at the cutting edge after installation before beginning production cuts.
