Accupro 14788345 Square End Mill 1/8 Inch 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788345 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and engineering plastics. Built with 2 helical flutes and a centercutting geometry, this end mill can plunge directly into material as well as perform peripheral and slot cuts. The 1/8 inch mill diameter and matching 1/8 inch cylindrical shank make it well suited for fine-detail work, tight-tolerance slotting, and profiling passes where a smaller cutter footprint is required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers or manual knee mills will find this tool a straightforward fit for light to medium cutting applications.

This end mill is intended for use in shops running short-run production, prototype work, or precision repair machining. The 1/4 inch length of cut provides adequate reach for shallow pocket and slot operations without the deflection risk associated with longer reaches. The solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance that exceeds high-speed steel alternatives, particularly in harder workpiece materials. It is a single-piece, non-extended-reach tool with no chipbreaker, keeping regrinding straightforward when the tool reaches end of life.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• 2 helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation during slotting and profiling
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 1/8 inch mill diameter and 1/8 inch cylindrical shank for fine-detail applications
• 1/4 inch length of cut suited for shallow pocket and slot work
• No chipbreaker geometry, simplifying regrinding and tool reconditioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 1/8 inch collets or end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling practices. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the cylindrical shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism to the machine manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning any cutting operation.
