Accupro 12185168 Square End Mill 3/32 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12185168 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin carbide with a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) finish, this double-end tool delivers extended tool life and resistance to heat and wear. It features a 3/32 inch cutting diameter, a 3/16 inch length of cut, and a 1/8 inch shank diameter, making it well-suited for fine detail work and tight-tolerance slot milling. The 30-degree spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation. With 4 flutes, this stub-length end mill is capable of both plunging and side milling operations in a compact, rigid form factor.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and benchtop milling machines handling ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its stub length and small diameter make it appropriate for close-clearance work, narrow slots, and detailed profiling passes. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration suits standard spindle direction without special setup. Machinists working on dies, molds, small components, and prototype parts will find this tool applicable across a range of shop environments, from job shops to production floors.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN coating extends tool life in abrasive and hardened materials
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• 30-degree helix spiral flute promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Stub length reduces deflection in small-diameter, high-precision cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use end mill for standard 1/8 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC and manual milling machines accepting right-hand tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth, ensuring no runout before beginning a cut. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tools can fracture under impact if damaged.
