It features a 5\/16 inch cutting diameter, a 7\/16 inch length of cut, and a 2-1\/2 inch overall length. The three-flute geometry paired with a 37-degree spiral helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes at higher feed rates. A zirconium nitride (ZrN) coating reduces friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge, extending tool life in demanding cuts. The micrograin carbide substrate provides edge retention and resistance to chipping. This end mill is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry into the workpiece without a pre-drilled hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for light to medium milling operations including slotting, profiling, and contouring on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional spindle setups. An extended reach design with a 1-1\/8 inch reach length allows access to deeper pockets and stepped features without tool deflection concerns at this diameter class. Typical users include CNC machinists, tool and die makers, and precision job-shop operators working in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZrN coating reduces friction and extends cutting life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended reach at 1-1\/8 inches for deep pocket and stepped-feature access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute for standard CNC spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 5\/16 inch collets, end mill holders, or ER-style chucks on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Verify spindle and toolholder runout before cutting to protect the cutting edge. Always follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for maximum RPM at this diameter and consult published speeds-and-feeds data for the specific workpiece material. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace if edge condition is compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inch (0.4375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ZrN (Zirconium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000\/-0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0001\/-0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 315447\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732334969138,"sku":"315447","price":76.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fbdad7d84014e707f7f78c7c9cd71e0d.jpg?v=1788741766","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-315447-square-end-mill-5-16-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
