Accupro 14788358 Square End Mill 3/16 Inch 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788358 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and hard plastics. With a 3/16 inch (0.1880 inch) mill diameter and 2 helical flutes, it delivers clean cuts and efficient chip evacuation in a compact form factor. The centercutting geometry allows the tool to plunge directly into the workpiece, expanding its application range beyond standard peripheral milling. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.75 inch length of cut, this end mill suits short-reach slotting, profiling, and contouring work on CNC machining centers and manual mills alike.

This end mill is suited for light-duty material removal and finish passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 3/16 inch cylindrical shank fits standard ER collets and end mill holders common in both vertical machining centers and knee mills. Its compact diameter makes it a practical choice for fine detail work, narrow slots, and small-feature milling in tool-and-die, mold work, prototype machining, and general job shop applications.

Key Features

• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance versus high-speed steel
• Helical flute geometry promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Matched mill and shank diameter at 3/16 inch simplifies tooling setup
• 0.75 inch length of cut supports slotting and profiling in shallow-to-mid-depth features

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/16 inch ER collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers, manual vertical mills, and similar machine tool setups that accept cylindrical shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with cutting tool practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth before torquing the retention nut. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tools can fracture if run while damaged.
