Accupro 12462438 Square End Mill 0.056 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 12462438 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.056-inch cutting diameter and a 0.168-inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail work and tight-tolerance operations. The micrograin carbide construction delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. The bright, uncoated finish suits a wide range of general-purpose milling tasks. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling professionals working on milling machines and machining centers.

This end mill fits residential shop, production floor, and tool room applications where small-diameter precision cutting is required. The 0.125-inch shank diameter and 1.5-inch overall length make it compatible with standard collet systems on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional setups. The centercutting capability allows plunge milling in addition to peripheral cuts, expanding its use in slot milling and contouring operations.

Key Features

• 0.056-inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0010 inches for precise fitment
• 0.168-inch length of cut suited for shallow slot and profile work
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flute promotes chip flow and reduces heat buildup
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry cuts
• Bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose milling without coating-related restrictions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for 1/8-inch collet systems on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers requiring a 0.056-inch square end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using appropriate collet holders or end mill holders rated for the 0.125-inch shank diameter. Confirm that the collet and spindle are clean and free of debris before securing the tool. Disengage machine power and follow lockout/tagout procedures before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to ensure accuracy within tolerance for fine-diameter tooling.
