Accupro 12185061 Square End Mill 1/16 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12185061 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in tight-tolerance applications. Built from micrograin carbide with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) finish, this double-end stub mill delivers hardness and heat resistance needed for cutting ferrous metals, stainless steel, and hardened materials. The 30-degree spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. At 0.0625 inches in diameter with a 0.125-inch length of cut and 1.5-inch overall length, this tool fits applications where a small-diameter, short-reach end mill is required. It is installed by machinists and toolroom operators using compatible CNC or manual milling equipment.

This end mill is suited for finish milling, slotting, and contouring in tight workspaces or small-feature geometry. The stub length and 1/8-inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard collet or end mill holder setups where minimal runout and rigidity are critical. Its centercutting design allows direct plunge entry. Typical applications include die and mold work, prototype machining, and precision part manufacturing in both job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance for dry and semi-dry cutting
• Double-end design extends usable tool life per unit
• 30-degree helix angle spiral flute promotes smooth chip flow
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines equipped with 1/8-inch collets or end mill holders accepting a 0.125-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the end mill from the holder. Verify collet condition and runout before use, as excessive runout at this diameter will accelerate edge wear or cause tool breakage. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications when tightening collet nuts.
