Accupro 14796897 Square End Mill 0.022 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14796897 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 0.022-inch cutting diameter and a 0.066-inch length of cut, this tool is built for small-feature work including slots, pockets, and profiling cuts. The AlTiN coating provides high heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 0.125-inch shank diameter, it is well-suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring tight-tolerance micro tooling. Installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This end mill is intended for applications requiring fine detail and small-diameter cutting capability. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC spindle setups. Centercutting geometry allows for plunge entry directly into the workpiece. The micrograin carbide substrate supports rigidity in demanding cutting conditions where deflection control is critical.

Key Features

• 0.022-inch cutting diameter for micro and small-feature milling
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials
• 2-flute design with 30-degree helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capable — supports direct plunge entry
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a regular-length single-end square end mill compatible with CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.125-inch shank diameter collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Secure the 0.125-inch shank in a precision collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Micro-diameter carbide tools are brittle — avoid side loading beyond recommended parameters and never use excessive feed rates during plunge entry. Ensure the spindle and tool holder are clean and free of debris before seating the tool.
