Accupro 95168536 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 5 Flute

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168536 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), it delivers extended tool life when cutting hardened steels, stainless, cast iron, and high-temp alloys. The 0.0300 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and produces consistent radii on workpiece corners. With 5 flutes and a 45-degree helix, it balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality. The 1/2 inch diameter and right-hand cutting geometry make it a standard choice for CNC machining centers and manual mills where tight tolerances and edge integrity are required.

This end mill is suited for milling operations in aerospace, die and mold, automotive, and general precision machining environments. It handles slotting, profiling, and finishing passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The centercutting design allows plunge entry, giving machinists flexibility in toolpath programming. With a 1-1/4 inch length of cut and 3 inch overall length, it fits standard tool holders for vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers. The regular length type keeps deflection minimal during aggressive passes.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating provides high heat resistance and hardness for dry or near-dry cutting in hard materials
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for edge retention and dimensional stability
• 0.0300 inch corner radius reduces chipping and produces consistent radii on part features
• 5-flute design increases feed rate capability and improves surface finish compared to 4-flute geometry
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• 45-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and chip flow across a range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard cutting tool for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1/2 inch shank diameter tool holder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Secure the 1/2 inch shank in a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or shrink-fit holder, and verify runout with a dial indicator before engaging the workpiece. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for drawbar and collet nut tightening.
