Accupro 12462268 Square End Mill 0.006 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12462268 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of small-feature geometry. With a 0.006-inch cutting diameter and a 0.018-inch length of cut, this tool is built for micro-machining applications where tight tolerances and clean square shoulders are required. The Bright/Uncoated finish and micrograin carbide substrate deliver edge sharpness and dimensional stability in demanding cut conditions. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 0.125-inch shank diameter, it mounts in standard collet and end mill holders common across CNC machining centers and manual mills. Machinists and tooling specialists handling precision work install and use this part.

This end mill is suited for fine detail milling, engraving, slotting, and micro-feature work on hardened or non-ferrous materials where a very small diameter is required. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry supports chip evacuation at the micro scale. The single-end, center-cutting design allows plunge entry as well as conventional peripheral milling. It is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers, high-speed spindles, and precision manual milling setups where 0.006-inch diameter tooling is specified.

Key Features

• 0.006-inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0010 inches for consistent micro-feature accuracy
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention at small diameters
• 2 right-hand spiral flutes at 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design permits both plunge and peripheral milling operations
• Bright/Uncoated finish — no coating buildup that could affect cutting edge geometry at this scale
• 0.125-inch shank diameter fits standard collet holders; shank tolerance -0.0001 / -0.0003 inches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank micro end mill compatible with collet holders and end mill holders accepting a 0.125-inch round shank, suitable for CNC machining centers and precision manual mills requiring 0.006-inch diameter square end tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or holder to the manufacturer-specified engagement depth to prevent tool pullout at high RPM. At this diameter, handle the tool with care to avoid chipping the cutting edges during setup.
