Accupro 95168356 Square End Mill 3/16 in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168356 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. With a 3/16-inch cutting diameter, 5/8-inch length of cut, and five flutes in a right-hand spiral configuration, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and a smooth surface finish. The variable helix geometry reduces harmonic chatter and vibration during cutting passes. An AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life when cutting hardened steels, stainless, and high-temperature alloys. The micrograin carbide substrate adds toughness and wear resistance across a range of cutting conditions. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals in CNC and manual milling operations.

This end mill fits standard 3/16-inch collets and tool holders. It is well suited for slot milling, profiling, and peripheral cutting in ferrous metals, hardened steels, and similar materials. The regular-length geometry makes it appropriate for general-purpose work where extended reach is not required. It is single-ended and center-cutting, allowing plunge entry where needed. Typical applications include production shops, tool and die, and maintenance machining environments.

Key Features

• 5-flute design improves feed rates and surface finish compared to standard 4-flute geometry
• Variable helix reduces chatter and vibration during aggressive cuts
• AlTiN coating enhances heat resistance and extends tool life in hard materials
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Center-cutting capable, allowing direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for standard 3/16-inch collet chucks and end mill holders used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with CNC or manual milling equipment. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the manufacturer-recommended grip length to prevent tool pullout. Inspect the collet and holder for wear or contamination before seating the end mill.
