Accupro 14788453 Square End Mill 3/8 Inch 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788453 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 3/8 inch mill diameter and three helical flutes, this centercutting tool is capable of plunge cuts as well as standard peripheral and slot milling. A 3-inch length of cut and 6-inch overall length give machinists reach for deeper pockets and longer passes without tool changes. Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance at elevated cutting speeds. This tool is installed and operated by machinist professionals in CNC and manual milling applications.

This end mill suits general-purpose milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials including steel, aluminum, and alloys. The helical flute geometry promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces during slotting, profiling, and contour milling operations. The cylindrical shank with 3/8 inch diameter is compatible with standard collets and end mill holders found in vertical machining centers and manual knee mills. The centercutting capability makes it suitable for applications requiring direct plunge entry without pre-drilling.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life at high cutting speeds
• Three helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 3-inch length of cut supports deeper pockets and full-depth profiling passes
• Cylindrical 3/8 inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders
• Non-chipbreaker, non-extended-reach geometry for stable general-purpose milling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement-style solid carbide square end mill for use in CNC vertical machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with 3/8 inch collets or end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and in a locked-out state before tool changes. Ensure the collet or end mill holder is clean and free of chips before seating the cylindrical shank. Verify runout after installation using a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures for spindle speeds and feed rates appropriate to the material being machined.
