Accupro 14788396 Square End Mill 7/64 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788396 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and engineered plastics. Built with three helical flutes and a centercutting geometry, it is capable of plunge cutting as well as conventional peripheral and slot milling. The mill diameter measures 0.109 inches (7/64 inch) with a 1/8-inch cylindrical shank and an overall length of 1.5 inches. A helix angle in the 29 to 31 degree range promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This tool is suited for tool-and-die shops, mold making, and general CNC machining environments where tight tolerances and small-diameter work are required.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter, close-tolerance cuts are needed. Its 3/8-inch length of cut allows for moderate-depth slotting, profiling, and contouring operations. The solid carbide construction provides the rigidity needed for high-speed machining of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists working on intricate part features, cavities, or fine detail work will find this tool appropriate for those applications.

Key Features

• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Three helical flutes for a balance of chip clearance and cutting edge strength
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in high-speed applications
• Helix angle of 29 to 31 degrees promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Cylindrical shank fits standard 1/8-inch collets and tool holders
• No chipbreaker geometry, making it well suited for continuous smooth-finish cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment tool for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with 1/8-inch collets or compatible tool holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation, as excessive runout will accelerate wear on a small-diameter carbide tool. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling supplier recommendations for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
