Accupro 125974 Roughing Finishing End Mill 3/8 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 125974 is a single-end roughing finishing end mill designed for aggressive material removal and finish passes in a single tool setup. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it features a 3/8 inch diameter, 3 flutes, and a 0.03 inch corner radius that reduces chipping at the cutting edge. The 37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The bright/uncoated finish makes this tool well suited for non-ferrous metals and softer alloys where coating buildup can reduce performance. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments.

This end mill is engineered for pocketing and profiling operations on machining centers and CNC mills. The 1.5 inch length of cut allows reach into moderate-depth pockets while maintaining rigidity. The 3/8 inch shank diameter matches standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in vertical and horizontal machining centers. The right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting orientation are standard for conventional and climb milling with typical CNC spindle configurations. Series AL geometry is suited to light-alloy and general-purpose milling applications.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and cutting edge stability
• 3 flutes with 37-degree helix for efficient chip removal and reduced heat buildup
• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and extends tool life in profiling cuts
• Bright/uncoated finish suited for aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Single-end design with 1.5 inch length of cut for pocketing and profiling reach
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers. Intended for pocketing and profiling operations per Series AL geometry specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or tool holder and torque the retention mechanism to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
