Accupro 14788417 Square End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788417 is a 3-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for material removal and finishing operations in machining centers and manual mills. With a 0.500-inch mill diameter, a 0.625-inch length of cut, and an overall length of 2.5 inches, this tool delivers consistent edge geometry and dimensional accuracy in milling applications. The helical flute design promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces during operation. Centercutting capability allows plunge milling in addition to peripheral and slot cutting. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for harder workpiece materials.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills across production and toolroom environments. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and pocket milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 0.500-inch cylindrical shank is compatible with standard ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and milling chucks. It is commonly installed by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators working with precision components in industrial manufacturing and job shop settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and extended tool life in demanding cuts
• 3-flute helical geometry balances chip evacuation with cutting stability
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• 0.500-inch mill diameter with 0.625-inch length of cut for controlled depth engagement
• Cylindrical shank fits standard collet and end mill holder tooling
• Non-chipbreaker, non-extended-reach profile suited for general-purpose milling operations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank solid carbide end mill compatible with 1/2-inch ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and milling chucks used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

This end mill should be installed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify collet or holder runout is within acceptable tolerance before operation, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish. Follow all applicable shop safety protocols when handling carbide cutting tools.
