Accupro 12462353 Square End Mill 0.03 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12462353 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 0.03 inch cutting diameter and a 3/32 inch (0.09 inch) length of cut, making it well suited for fine detail work, slotting, and profiling in tight geometries. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. With a micrograin carbide construction and bright/uncoated finish, this tool delivers consistent dimensional accuracy. It is a single-end, center-cutting design with right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction, and an overall length of 1.5 inches.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and high-speed spindle applications where small-diameter tooling is required. The 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and toolholders commonly found in precision machining setups. Typical applications include mold and die work, aerospace component machining, and electronics-related metalwork where fine features and close tolerances are critical. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops or production environments.

Key Features

• 0.03 inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000/-0.0010 inches for tight dimensional control
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry into workpiece material
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/8 inch shank square end mill compatible with collets and toolholders accepting 1/8 inch diameter shanks on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following established toolholding procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before inserting or removing tooling. Seat the shank fully within the collet to the recommended grip length and torque the collet nut per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
