Accupro 72023047 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 6 Flute

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 72023047 is a single-end, solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding materials. It features a 1/2-inch (12.70 mm) mill diameter, six flutes, and a 0.060-inch corner radius that helps reduce stress concentration at the cutting edge and extend tool life. The AlTiN+ coating improves heat resistance and wear performance, making this end mill well-suited for cutting high-temperature alloys and other difficult-to-machine materials. It is typically installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where tight tolerances and edge integrity are required.

This end mill is built for primary use in high-temp alloy applications (material code S), including nickel-based and titanium alloys commonly found in aerospace, medical, and power generation components. The variable helix and variable index geometry reduce harmonic vibration during cut, which improves surface finish and allows for more aggressive material removal rates in tough workpiece materials. The 1-inch length of cut and 3-inch overall length make it suitable for moderate-depth pocketing, slotting, and profiling operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in high-temp alloy cutting
• AlTiN+ coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• Variable helix and variable index design reduce chatter and vibration
• 0.060-inch (1.52 mm) corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress risers
• Six-flute configuration supports higher feed rates and improved finish
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and milling machines accepting a 1/2-inch straight shank. Primary workpiece material is high-temperature alloy (S-class materials). No specific machine model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle and tool holder are powered down and fully stopped before changing tooling. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 1/2-inch shank diameter to ensure secure clamping and minimize runout. Follow the cutting tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the specific workpiece material and machine setup.
