Accupro 12185024 Square End Mill 5/32 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12185024 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It has a 5/32 inch (0.1563 inch) mill diameter, a 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) length of cut, and a 3/8 inch shank diameter. The overall length is 3 inches. Built from micrograin solid carbide and finished with a TiCN coating, this end mill delivers extended tool life in abrasive cutting conditions. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, reducing tooling cost per cut. It is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and toolrooms.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations in light to medium-duty CNC machining centers and manual mills. The 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The spiral flute geometry and centercutting capability allow both plunge and ramp entry. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are standard for conventional spindle rotation. The regular length classification makes it appropriate for general-purpose work where extended reach is not required.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN finish increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• 40-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation in slotting and profiling cuts
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge and ramp entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle operation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or standard-inventory end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/8 inch straight shank with a 5/32 inch cutting diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using an appropriate collet or end mill holder sized for the 3/8 inch shank diameter. Ensure the tool holder and spindle are clean and free of runout before seating the tool. Power down the machine and confirm the spindle is fully stopped before changing tooling. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling supplier guidelines for speeds, feeds, and maximum depth of cut for carbide end mills.
