Accupro 14796888 Square End Mill 0.013 in 2 Flute Altin

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14796888 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in tight tolerances and small-feature applications. With a 0.013-inch cutting diameter and a 0.039-inch length of cut, this tool is built for micro-machining work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating extends tool life in high-temperature cutting environments and improves performance in ferrous and hardened materials. Micrograin carbide construction provides the rigidity and edge retention needed at this diameter. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces during light-pass finishing operations.

This end mill is suited for CNC milling operations requiring small-diameter toolpaths, such as engraving, slot milling, and fine-detail contouring on molds, dies, and precision components. With a 0.125-inch shank diameter and 1.5-inch overall length, it fits standard ER and end mill holders commonly found in VMC and HMC setups. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are standard for conventional and climb milling configurations.

Key Features

• 0.013-inch cutting diameter with micrograin solid carbide construction for micro-machining accuracy
• AlTiN coating for extended tool life in high-heat and ferrous cutting applications
• 2-flute design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation at small diameters
• Center-cutting capable — suitable for plunge entry and ramp-in toolpaths
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, single-end configuration
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0010 inches for tight-tolerance feature work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool for CNC machining centers using standard 0.125-inch shank end mill holders or collet chucks accepting 1/8-inch shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the recommended gauge-line depth and torque the collet nut to the holder manufacturer specification. At 0.013-inch diameter, runout control is critical — verify TIR with a dial indicator before cutting to prevent premature breakage.
