Accupro 12183883 Square End Mill 1/2 in 6 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12183883 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. It features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 2 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length, making it well-suited for deeper reach applications. The 6-flute, 40-degree helix spiral geometry combined with an AlTiN coating allows this tool to handle harder workpiece materials at elevated cutting speeds. Centercutting capability means it can be used for plunge operations as well as peripheral cuts. This tool is intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals operating CNC mills, machining centers, or manual knee mills.

This end mill is appropriate for use in ferrous and hardened material applications where heat resistance and tool life are priorities. The AlTiN finish provides a hard, heat-reflective surface layer that extends tool life in dry or semi-dry cutting conditions. The long-length configuration suits applications requiring extended reach into pockets, slots, or deep-wall features. It is commonly used in job shops, production machining, aerospace component work, and die and mold applications where tight tolerances are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for heat resistance in ferrous and hardened material cutting
• 6-flute design improves surface finish and feed rate capability
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge milling as well as slot and peripheral cuts
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard CNC and manual mill spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank end mill compatible with 1/2 inch collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders used on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before installing or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the recommended engagement depth and tighten to the toolholder manufacturer torque specification. Inspect the cutting edges and coating condition before each use and do not use a tool that shows chipping or excessive wear.
