Accupro 95168873 Square End Mill 0.5in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95168873 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining applications. With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter and a 1.25 inch length of cut, it removes material efficiently across a range of workpiece profiles. The 4-flute, spiral flute geometry with variable helix promotes chip evacuation and reduces chatter during aggressive cuts. An AlTiN coating extends tool life in high-heat environments such as dry machining and high-speed cutting of hardened steels, stainless, and titanium alloys. Micrograin carbide substrate adds wear resistance and edge integrity. This is a right-hand cut, right-hand flute, single-end tool intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This end mill is suited for slotting, peripheral milling, and profiling operations in ferrous and nonferrous materials. It performs well in production environments where tool life and dimensional consistency are priorities. The centercutting design allows plunge entry, adding flexibility for pocketing operations. The regular length designation and 3 inch overall length make it compatible with standard milling setups without requiring extended reach toolholders.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating for extended tool life in high-temperature dry cutting
• Variable helix geometry reduces vibration and chatter
• Centercutting capable - supports direct plunge entry for pocketing
• Micrograin carbide substrate for superior edge retention and wear resistance
• 4-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut and flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill spindles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling solution for standard 1/2 inch collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders in CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a locked-out state before changing tooling. Verify holder runout and collet condition before seating the shank to maintain dimensional accuracy. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for the holder style in use.
