Accupro 14796884 Square End Mill 0.008in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14796884 is a square end mill designed for precision milling in tight-tolerance applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide and finished with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating, this tool handles hard materials and elevated cutting temperatures. It measures 0.008 inches in diameter with a 0.024-inch length of cut and a 1/8-inch shank diameter. The 30-degree helix angle and right-hand spiral flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation. With only 2 flutes and a centercutting design, the 14796884 is suited for plunge, slot, and profile operations in precision CNC machining environments.

This end mill is used in precision machining of hardened steels, stainless alloys, titanium, and other difficult-to-machine materials. Its micro diameter makes it appropriate for fine detail work, mold and die machining, and miniature component fabrication in industries such as aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and electronics. It is a single-end, regular-length tool with no chipbreaker and no variable helix, keeping the geometry straightforward for standard high-speed CNC applications.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at micro diameters
• AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in dry and semi-dry cutting
• 0.008-inch mill diameter suited for fine detail and miniature feature machining
• 30-degree helix angle with right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for efficient chip flow
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• 1/8-inch shank diameter compatible with standard collet systems on CNC machining centers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use end mill for CNC machining centers and milling machines equipped with 1/8-inch collet or chuck systems accepting standard straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet to the recommended depth to avoid runout and premature tool breakage, which is a particular risk at this micro diameter. Confirm tool offset data is updated in the CNC controller before resuming cutting operations.
