Accupro 95172705 Corner Radius End Mill 3/8 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 95172705 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 3/8 inch diameter, a 0.0600 inch corner radius, and four flutes arranged in a variable helix, variable index configuration. The AlCrTiN PVD coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection at elevated cutting speeds. With a 7/16 inch length of cut and 2 inch overall length, this is a short-series, single-end, centercutting tool. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers running milling centers in production and job shop environments.

This end mill is suited for applications requiring a controlled corner radius on milled profiles, pockets, and contours. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry. The right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with standard CNC milling spindle configurations. The micrograin carbide substrate supports tight tolerances and consistent edge retention across production runs. The VS Series designation indicates a variable helix and variable index design intended to reduce chatter and improve surface finish in demanding cut conditions.

Key Features

• AlCrTiN PVD coating for high-temperature wear resistance in hard materials
• Variable helix and variable index geometry reduces chatter and vibration
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for edge sharpness and dimensional stability
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h6 shank diameter tolerance for secure collet or end mill holder grip
• Short-series length of cut minimizes deflection in close-tolerance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-install corner radius end mill for CNC vertical and horizontal milling machines accepting a 3/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or shrink-fit holder to the full recommended grip depth before tightening. Verify runout against the TIR specification before beginning production cuts. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended cutting parameters for the workpiece material and coating type.
