Accupro 12183885 Square End Mill 5/8 in 6 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12183885 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin carbide and finished with a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating, it delivers extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 6-flute geometry supports higher feed rates and improved surface finish compared to standard 4-flute designs. With a 40-degree helix angle and spiral flute configuration, it promotes efficient chip evacuation under demanding cut conditions. Centercutting capability allows plunge entry without a pilot hole. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators in production and job shop environments.

The 12183885 is suited for side milling, slotting, and profiling operations on milling machines and CNC machining centers. Its long-reach geometry, with a 2.125-inch length of cut and 4.625-inch overall length, makes it appropriate for deeper pockets and stepped features where a standard-length end mill cannot reach. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation match the conventional spindle rotation of most vertical and horizontal milling equipment. It is a single-end tool sold individually.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN finish increases surface hardness and reduces built-up edge
• 6-flute design supports aggressive feed rates and fine surface finish
• 40-degree helix angle with spiral flutes for effective chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• Long-reach length of cut suitable for deep pocket and step milling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill for standard 5/8-inch collet or end mill holder setups on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully into a 5/8-inch precision collet or end mill holder and torque to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before production cutting. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling, per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures.
