Accupro 95168425 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 5 Flute

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168425 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. It features a 1/2 inch diameter, a 0.0300 inch corner radius, and five flutes arranged in a right-hand spiral configuration with a 45-degree helix angle. The cutting geometry is optimized for stub-length applications where rigidity and surface finish matter. An AlTiN coating increases heat resistance and tool life during high-speed cuts in ferrous and hardened materials. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom technicians using CNC milling machines and manual mills.

This end mill suits production and jobshop milling of steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous alloys where corner radius geometry is required to reduce stress concentrations and improve part finish. The centercutting design allows plunge entry as well as standard peripheral cutting. With a 5/8 inch length of cut and 2-1/2 inch overall length, it fits standard tool holders accepting a 1/2 inch shank, making it a practical choice for short-reach profiling, slotting, and contouring passes on CNC machining centers.

Key Features

• 0.0300 inch corner radius reduces stress risers and improves surface finish at part corners
• AlTiN coating provides elevated heat and oxidation resistance for extended tool life in hard materials
• Five-flute design increases feed rate capability compared to standard three- or four-flute end mills
• 45-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting geometry enables plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry hole
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate delivers rigidity and edge retention under demanding cuts

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/2 inch tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. Suitable for right-hand spindle rotation applications in ferrous and hardened workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists into compatible collet chucks, end mill holders, or shrink-fit holders rated for a 1/2 inch shank. Verify that the tool holder is clean and free of runout before clamping. Always confirm spindle direction and programmed feed and speed parameters before initiating a cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each setup.
