Accupro 14788406 Square End Mill 5/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788406 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a range of materials. Built with three helical flutes and a centercutting geometry, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and plunge cuts in a single setup. The 5/8 inch mill diameter matches the 5/8 inch cylindrical shank diameter, providing a rigid, balanced tool body. With a 1-1/4 inch length of cut and a 3-1/2 inch overall length, it suits both shallow and moderate-depth milling passes. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this end mill in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where consistent chip evacuation and edge integrity are required.

This end mill is suited for general-purpose milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a solid carbide substrate delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for production runs. The cylindrical shank fits standard ER collet chucks and end mill holders designed for 5/8 inch tooling. It is not configured with extended reach or chipbreaker features, making it a straightforward choice for conventional milling applications where a clean square shoulder and reliable three-flute chip clearance are the priority.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high hardness and wear resistance
• Three helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation during slotting and profiling
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 5/8 inch mill diameter and matching 5/8 inch cylindrical shank for balanced tool rigidity
• 1-1/4 inch length of cut suitable for moderate-depth milling passes
• No chipbreaker or extended reach — clean geometry for standard milling setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/8 inch cylindrical shank end mill compatible with ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and side-lock holders configured for 5/8 inch tooling in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for toolholder torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle and toolholder are clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify tool projection and runout with a dial indicator before initiating the first cut. Always observe proper cutting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and confirm the machine is at a complete stop before changing tooling.
