Accupro 12182976 Square End Mill 1 Inch 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12182976 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from micrograin carbide stock, it carries a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) finish that increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge. The 1-inch diameter, 4-flute geometry with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The spiral flute design and centercutting capability allow both peripheral and plunge milling, giving machinists flexibility across facing, slotting, and profiling operations. This is a single-end, right-hand cut and right-hand flute tool.

This end mill fits standard CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines equipped with a 1-inch tool holder or collet. The long series length type with a 2.25-inch length of cut and 5-inch overall length suits applications where added reach into a workpiece is required, such as deep pocket milling or step milling on taller fixtures. It is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, production machining, toolrooms, and maintenance departments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• TiCN finish for increased surface hardness and reduced built-up edge
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Long series length type provides additional reach for deep pocket operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration for standard CNC and manual spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for 1-inch bore tool holders, collets, and shrink-fit chucks used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine is in a safe state before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify runout at the cutting diameter after clamping to confirm proper seating. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended clamping torque specifications for the holder type in use.
