Accupro 14788560 Square End Mill 4 Flute 5/32 in Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14788560 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composite, and engineering plastic applications. This 4-flute, center-cutting tool features a 5/32 inch (0.1560 inch) mill diameter with a helical flute geometry and a helix angle between 38 and 42 degrees. The center-cutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. Solid carbide construction delivers the rigidity and heat resistance needed to maintain sharp cutting edges at higher feed rates and speeds compared to high-speed steel tooling. It is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom technicians using CNC mills or manual milling machines.

This end mill is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials on vertical machining centers, knee mills, and similar equipment. The cylindrical shank and 3/16 inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard collet systems and end mill holders. With a 3/4 inch length of cut and a 2-1/2 inch overall length, it handles shallow-to-moderate depth slotting, profiling, and side milling tasks. The standard reach configuration keeps the tool mass low for reduced runout at operating speeds.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior rigidity and edge retention
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• 4-flute helical geometry improves surface finish and chip evacuation
• Helix angle of 38 to 42 degrees reduces cutting forces on the workpiece
• Cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders
• Compact 2-1/2 inch overall length minimizes deflection in standard reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank solid carbide end mill for use in CNC and manual milling machines equipped with collet systems or end mill holders that accept a 3/16 inch cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Before mounting, ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state. Clean the collet bore and shank of debris or coolant residue before seating the tool to prevent runout. Do not exceed the manufacturer-rated speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and tool diameter.
