Accupro 14788408 Square End Mill 1/16 Inch 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788408 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 1/16-inch (0.0630-inch) mill diameter and three helical flutes, this end mill delivers clean, accurate cuts in tight tolerances. The centercutting geometry allows plunge cutting as well as conventional side milling. A 29 to 31 degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup during operation. This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators working on mills, machining centers, and manual milling machines requiring small-diameter tooling.

This end mill is suited for light-duty slotting, profiling, and contouring operations where small-diameter tooling is required. The 1/8-inch length of cut and 1/8-inch cylindrical shank make it appropriate for shallow-depth passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its compact 1.5-inch overall length keeps it rigid during high-speed operation, reducing deflection. Machinists working on molds, dies, detail features, and prototype parts will find this tool fits standard collet and end mill holder systems designed for 1/8-inch shanks.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance for extended tool life
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Three helical flutes balance chip load and surface finish quality
• 29 to 31 degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation
• 1/8-inch cylindrical shank fits standard collets and end mill holders
• Compact 1.5-inch overall length maximizes rigidity in small-diameter applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank replacement end mill for CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines that accept 1/8-inch cylindrical shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder, ensuring full shank engagement to the recommended insertion depth before tightening. Confirm the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe lockout state before changing tooling. Never exceed the manufacturer-recommended feed rate or depth of cut for the material being machined.
