Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride), it delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to ferrous and non-ferrous applications. The 5\/8 inch cutting diameter is matched by a 5\/8 inch shank diameter, keeping the setup concentric and rigid. With 5 fine-pitch flutes and a right-hand cutting and flute direction, this tool removes chips efficiently while maintaining a stable cut. It is a standard-length, non-center-cutting tool intended for side milling and profiling passes, not plunge entry. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for roughing passes on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers as well as manual knee mills. The 1.5 inch length of cut and 3.5 inch overall length make it appropriate for moderate-depth side milling in steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials where TiCN coating provides adequate lubricity and heat resistance. The fine pitch flute spacing helps reduce chatter on harder workpieces. It is not designed for extended-reach or deep-cavity applications given its regular length designation. No variable helix geometry is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating improves surface hardness and reduces built-up edge on ferrous cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 fine-pitch flutes for efficient chip evacuation and reduced chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShank diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to -0.0004 inches ensures consistent tool holding grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-center-cutting geometry — requires a pre-drilled entry or ramping strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-fitment roughing end mill for use in ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling accepting a 5\/8 inch shank diameter on CNC or manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before inserting or removing tooling. Use a clean, undamaged collet or tool holder sized to 5\/8 inch shank diameter and torque the retention system per the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Because this tool is non-center-cutting, do not plunge directly into solid material — use a pre-drilled hole or a programmed ramp entry to begin the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0001 to -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2500288\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51745654210866,"sku":"2500288","price":220.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4dd182f0dc672c4064ed835063a9c6e9.jpg?v=1788864674","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-2500288-roughing-end-mill-5-8-in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
