Accupro 12185074 Square End Mill 5/32 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12185074 is a double-end, two-flute square end mill manufactured from micrograin solid carbide. It carries a 5/32-inch (0.1563-inch) cutting diameter and a 5/16-inch length of cut, making it well suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in tight-tolerance work. The 40-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across a range of workpiece materials. A bright, uncoated finish is standard, leaving the carbide substrate exposed for use in applications where coating interaction is a concern. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers and users of this tool.

This end mill is designed for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and similar metal-cutting equipment requiring a small-diameter, stub-length cutting tool. The 3/16-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders common in production and job-shop environments. The double-end configuration provides a second cutting end when the first reaches end of life, extending overall tool value. Applications include finish passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, light slotting, and contour milling in confined areas.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for improved wear resistance and edge retention
• 40-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for applications where coatings are not required
• Stub length type for added rigidity in shallow-depth operations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch end mill for use in collets and end mill holders accepting a 3/16-inch shank diameter; verify holder and spindle compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines for tool holding and runout requirements. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, de-energized state before loading or removing the tool. Confirm collet or chuck is clean and free of debris to maintain shank diameter tolerances within spec. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended feed, speed, or depth-of-cut parameters for the workpiece material.
