Accupro 12185083 Square End Mill 7/64 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12185083 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metal, composite, and engineering plastic applications. At 7/64 inch (0.1094 inch) diameter with a 3/16 inch length of cut, this stub-length tool delivers rigidity in tight-clearance operations where deflection control is critical. The 1/8 inch shank fits standard collets and tool holders across most CNC and manual milling setups. Micrograin carbide construction supports cutting speeds appropriate for hardened and abrasive workpiece materials. The bright uncoated finish makes it well suited for non-ferrous materials and applications where coating buildup is a concern. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is sized for small-feature work including slots, pockets, and contour cuts in toolroom, mold and die, and production machining environments. The stub-length geometry minimizes overhang, reducing vibration during interrupted cuts or when milling harder alloys. The 1-1/2 inch overall length keeps the tool compact for use in multi-axis machines and fixtures with limited Z-clearance. It is commonly selected for finishing passes on tight-tolerance features where dimensional accuracy is essential.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for wear resistance in abrasive and hard materials
• 2-flute configuration provides chip clearance in slotting and plunge operations
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• Centercutting design allows axial plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle rotation
• Stub-length OAL of 1-1/2 inches maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Bright uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous metals and certain plastics

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom end mill compatible with 1/8 inch collets and tool holders used in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing or seating the tool in the collet. Apply the manufacturer-recommended collet torque for the holder size and verify runout with a dial indicator before production cutting. Inspect the cutting edges under magnification prior to use; carbide end mills at this diameter are brittle and susceptible to chipping if dropped or mishandled.
