Accupro 95168618 Square End Mill 5/8 in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168618 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance metal cutting in demanding machining environments. With a 5/8 inch cutting diameter and five flutes, this tool delivers aggressive material removal while maintaining surface finish quality. The nACRo coating provides thermal resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge, extending tool life in abrasive and high-temperature applications. A variable helix geometry reduces chatter and vibration during the cut, improving dimensional accuracy and finish. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with CNC and manual milling equipment.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials where coating performance and flute geometry matter. The 2-1/4 inch length of cut supports slotting, side milling, and profiling operations at moderate to full axial depths. Single-end construction means the tool is replaced, not indexed, when worn. The 5-inch overall length provides reach for setups where the workpiece or fixture demands clearance beyond a standard-length tool. Typical applications include production milling, die work, and precision part machining in job shop and manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch cutting diameter with 5-flute configuration for high feed rates and smooth finish
• nACRo coating for improved thermal hardness and wear resistance in ferrous materials
• Variable helix design reduces vibration and chatter during interrupted and continuous cuts
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit solid carbide end mill for CNC machining centers and manual knee mills accepting a 5/8 inch straight shank tool holder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or removing the tool from the holder. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder to achieve full shank engagement and minimize runout. Inspect the shank and holder bore for chips or contamination before clamping to avoid seating issues that accelerate tool wear.
