Accupro SAMG1616DPPLALT Drill Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO SAMG1616DPPLALT is a solid carbide drill mill designed for combined drilling and milling operations in a single tool. With a 1/2 inch cutting diameter and a 90-degree point angle, it handles center drilling, spotting, chamfering, and end milling without a tool change. The micrograin carbide substrate provides edge retention and resistance to chipping under interrupted cuts. An AlTiN coating adds thermal and oxidation resistance, making it suited for dry or semi-dry machining in ferrous and hardened materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this type of cutter.

This drill mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills for applications including spot drilling, through-hole entry, countersinking, and peripheral milling. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry match standard spindle rotation. The 1 inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth side milling passes, while the 3 inch overall length fits standard tool holders and collet chucks with a 1/2 inch bore. It is suitable for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials where AlTiN coatings perform well.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for edge retention in hard and abrasive materials
• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance for dry or semi-dry cutting
• 90-degree point angle enables accurate spotting, chamfering, and drill entry in one operation
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry for standard CNC and manual spindle use
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches ensures consistent fit and finish
• Two-flute design balances chip evacuation and core strength for drilling and milling

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard addition for any tool holder or collet chuck accepting a 1/2 inch shank diameter. Suitable for CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and drill presses running right-hand rotation spindles.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Seat the 1/2 inch shank fully in a matching collet or end mill holder and torque to the tool holder manufacturer's specification before running. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the workpiece. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tooling can fail without visible warning if run on a damaged edge.
