Accupro 12182792 Square End Mill 0.2362 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182792 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built to a stub length profile, it delivers added rigidity over standard-length tools, reducing deflection during aggressive cuts. The 4-flute geometry with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. An AlTiN finish increases surface hardness and thermal resistance, extending tool life in high-temperature cutting environments such as hardened steels and titanium alloys. The micrograin carbide substrate provides consistent edge integrity. This tool is installed and operated by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC programmers in production and job shop settings.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in CNC machining centers and manual mills. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without a pre-drilled hole, adding flexibility in contouring and pocket milling applications. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation follow standard spindle conventions on most machining equipment. The stub length format makes it particularly effective in setups requiring close-tolerance work or limited Z-axis clearance.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for consistent edge sharpness and long tool life
• AlTiN coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance in high-speed and hard-material applications
• 40-degree helix spiral flute promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting design supports direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Stub length profile maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection in tight setups
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute for compatibility with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard production end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 0.2362 inch (6.00 mm) shank diameter tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify tool holder collet or set-screw bore matches the 0.2362 inch shank diameter and meets the shank tolerance specification before tightening. Follow machine manufacturer torque guidelines for the tool holding system in use.
