Accupro 95168706 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 5 Flute

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168706 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 1/2-inch diameter cutting face with a 0.0600-inch corner radius, 5 flutes, and an AlTiN coating that resists heat and extends tool life in high-speed applications. The 4-inch overall length paired with a 2-inch length of cut makes this a long-reach configuration suitable for deeper cavity and pocket milling. Micrograin carbide substrate adds rigidity and edge retention. A 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. This tool is installed by machinists and CNC tooling professionals in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is suited for milling operations requiring a blended corner radius to reduce stress concentration at the base of a cut. The single-end, centercutting design allows plunge entry and full peripheral cutting. The right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute spiral are standard for conventional CNC milling centers. Typical applications include profiling, slotting, and contouring in hardened steels, stainless steels, and high-temperature alloys where the AlTiN coating provides thermal protection at elevated surface speeds.

Key Features

• 0.0600-inch corner radius reduces chipping and stress at the base of milled features
• AlTiN coating provides oxidation resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 5-flute geometry increases feed rate capability compared to standard 4-flute end mills
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate delivers rigidity and sharp edge retention
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Long-reach configuration with 2-inch LOC supports deeper pocket and cavity work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-inch shank end mill compatible with ER and side-lock collet systems on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting 1/2-inch tool holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Secure the shank to the full depth recommended by the tool holder manufacturer to minimize runout. Verify tool runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run, as excessive runout will accelerate edge wear and reduce surface finish quality.
