Accupro 95168574 Square End Mill 1/2 in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168574 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling operations in metal, alloy, and hard-material applications. Built with five flutes and a variable helix geometry, this tool reduces chatter and improves chip evacuation during aggressive cuts. The nACRo coating provides enhanced heat and wear resistance, extending tool life in demanding cutting conditions. With a 1/2 inch mill diameter, 2 inch length of cut, and 4 inch overall length, it suits a wide range of standard vertical and horizontal milling setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this end mill for both roughing and finishing passes where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical.

This end mill is well-suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where a right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute is required. The centercutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole, adding flexibility to the machining process. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The micrograin carbide substrate supports tight tolerances and consistent edge retention across production runs.

Key Features

• Variable helix design reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during cutting
• nACRo coating delivers superior heat resistance and extended tool life
• Five-flute configuration improves material removal rates and surface finish
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate maintains edge sharpness under high cutting loads
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard milling spindle use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1/2 inch shank end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with end mill tool holding and spindle taper systems. Secure the shank fully in a collet, set-screw holder, or shrink-fit chuck before operation, and verify runout within acceptable limits before beginning a cut. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use.
