Accupro 12185053 Square End Mill 1/32 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12185053 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in tight geometries. Built to stub-length proportions, it features a 1/32-inch (0.0313 inch) cutting diameter, a 1/16-inch length of cut, and a 1/8-inch shank diameter. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life in production environments. Micrograin carbide construction delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for fine detail work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating interaction with the workpiece material is a concern. Licensed machinists and CNC operators handling micro-milling and engraving work are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills performing slotting, profiling, and light contouring at small scales. Its 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation in shallow cuts. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation match standard spindle rotation on conventional vertical machining equipment. Typical applications include detailed mold work, printed circuit board routing fixtures, and small-part profiling where a 1/32-inch feature is required.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity at small diameters
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• 30-degree helix angle for smooth chip flow in shallow passes
• Centercutting geometry permits direct plunge without pre-drilling
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for use with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tool for CNC vertical machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8-inch straight shank, consistent with the ASQSC2-CCDE-30H series specification.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or CNC operator should install this tool using a collet or end mill holder rated for a 1/8-inch shank. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping, as concentricity is especially critical at this diameter. Confirm depth-of-cut and feed-rate parameters for micrograin carbide before initiating a cut.
