Accupro 315060 Square End Mill 1 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 315060 is a single-end, square-profile solid carbide end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting environments. It carries a 1 inch cutting diameter with a 1-1/2 inch length of cut and a 5 inch overall length. The 37-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. A ZrN (zirconium nitride) coating adds surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. The micrograin carbide substrate supports sharp edge retention at elevated cutting speeds. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

The 315060 is suited for milling slots, pockets, profiles, and contours on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. Its 1 inch straight shank fits standard ER and side-lock tool holders used in production and job-shop environments. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, making it practical for full-slot milling passes. It is appropriate for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other metals where a rigid, high-performance carbide tool is specified. The 3-flute configuration balances chip clearance and rigidity, making it a common choice for both roughing and finishing passes at moderate to high feed rates.

Key Features

• 1 inch cutting diameter with plus 0.000 / minus 0.005 inch diameter tolerance
• 3-flute spiral flute geometry for balanced chip clearance and tool rigidity
• 37-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• ZrN coating for increased surface hardness and extended tool life
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate supports sharp edges at high cutting speeds
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1 inch straight-shank tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where a square-end solid carbide end mill is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank to the full recommended grip depth in the tool holder - never grip on the fluted cutting section. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tool change before beginning a cut.
