Accupro 14796916 Square End Mill 0.048 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 14796916 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in tight-tolerance applications. With a 0.048-inch mill diameter and a 0.144-inch length of cut, this tool is built for micro-milling operations where dimensional accuracy is critical. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Micrograin carbide construction delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. This is a single-end, center-cutting tool, meaning it can plunge as well as mill laterally. The bright, uncoated finish suits a broad range of general-purpose machining environments where coating-specific chemistry is not required.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual milling machines where small-diameter tooling is required. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and contouring in dies, molds, medical components, electronics housings, and other precision parts that demand fine-detail work. The 0.125-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders in that size range, making it straightforward to integrate into existing setups without additional tooling adapters.

Key Features

• 0.048-inch mill diameter for micro-milling and fine-detail work
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced chatter
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-end square end mill for use in standard 0.125-inch collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring small-diameter tooling in the ASQSC2-CC-30H series.

Installation Notes

Installation of this end mill should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the tool from the collet. Ensure the collet and tool holder are clean and free of chips or debris before clamping to maintain runout specifications. At 0.048 inches in diameter, this tool is extremely fragile — avoid excessive overhang beyond the stated length of cut and do not exceed recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material.
