Accupro 124010 Roughing End Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 124010 is a solid carbide roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. It features three flutes with a chipbreaker geometry that breaks chips into smaller segments, reducing heat buildup and cutting forces during heavy passes. The 0.03-inch corner radius adds edge strength at the cutting tip. With a high helix, right-hand spiral flute design and variable pitch, this end mill reduces chatter and improves surface finish during roughing cuts. It is centercutting, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals, it fits standard milling machines and CNC machining centers.

This end mill is suited for roughing applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where maximizing metal removal rate is the priority. The 1/2-inch diameter and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders on vertical and horizontal milling machines. It is a single-end tool with a 1.25-inch length of cut and 3-inch overall length, appropriate for moderate-depth pockets, slots, and profile cuts in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• Chipbreaker geometry reduces chip load and heat buildup during heavy roughing cuts
• Submicron solid carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance
• Variable pitch flutes minimize chatter and vibration
• High helix, right-hand spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use without coolant-through requirement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement roughing end mill for use in standard 1/2-inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing end mills. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the tool holder per the holder manufacturer specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, particularly when high material removal rates are expected.
