Accupro 14788412 Square End Mill 3/16 Inch 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788412 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. This centercutting tool features three helical flutes and a 3/16-inch mill diameter, giving it the rigidity and geometry needed for slotting, profiling, and plunge cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 2 inches in overall length with a 3/8-inch length of cut, it balances reach and stiffness for consistent results in light to moderate material removal. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops or production environments are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills where a 3/16-inch diameter tool path is required. The cylindrical shank matches the 3/16-inch mill diameter, making it compatible with standard collet chucks and tool holders in that size range. Typical applications include contour milling, shoulder milling, and slot cutting in aluminum, mild steel, and similar workpiece materials. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece without pre-drilling.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance for extended tool life
• Three helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• 3/16-inch mill and shank diameter with cylindrical shank for standard collet compatibility
• 3/8-inch length of cut suited for shallow to moderate depth slotting and profiling
• 2-inch overall length balances tool reach with minimal deflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill for CNC and manual milling machines accepting a 3/16-inch cylindrical shank collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Secure the cylindrical shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the machine manufacturer's specification before use. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing or inspecting tooling. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine guarding requirements when operating rotating cutting tools.
