Accupro 14788357 Square End Mill 1/8 Inch 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788357 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and engineering plastics. With a 1/8-inch mill diameter and 2 helical flutes, it delivers clean, accurate cuts in tight tolerances. The centercutting geometry allows the tool to plunge directly into workpiece material without a pre-drilled entry hole. A 3/4-inch length of cut and 2-1/4-inch overall length make it well-suited for shallow-to-moderate pocket milling, slotting, and profiling work. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments are the primary users of this tooling.

This end mill is used in vertical machining centers, manual knee mills, and CNC router setups where a 1/8-inch cylindrical shank is compatible with collet or end mill holder tooling. It is appropriate for finishing and light roughing passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The small diameter makes it a common choice for detail work, narrow slots, and fine-feature profiling in mold making, fixture fabrication, and precision part production.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cutting applications
• 2 helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation during slotting and profiling
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole
• 1/8-inch mill diameter and 1/8-inch cylindrical shank for use with standard collets and holders
• 3/4-inch length of cut suits shallow pocket and slot milling operations
• Extended reach and chipbreaker features are not present, keeping deflection minimal at this diameter

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/8-inch collets and end mill holders on vertical machining centers and manual milling machines accepting cylindrical shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the tool from the holder. Ensure the collet or holder bore is clean and free of chips before inserting the shank. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for drawbar or collet nut tightening — do not overtighten small-diameter tooling, as carbide is brittle and susceptible to shank fracture under excessive clamping force.
