Kennametal 3876352 Square End Mill 3/16 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3876352 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 3/16-inch cutting diameter and a 9/16-inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers accurate material removal in tight geometries. The 45-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces, making it well-suited for finishing and light roughing passes. The bright, uncoated surface finish is typical for use in materials where coating adhesion is a concern or where re-grinding is anticipated. This end mill is installed and operated by machining professionals on CNC mills and manual milling machines.

This end mill fits residential and light industrial machine shop applications where small-diameter, high-precision tooling is required. The 3/16-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, allowing use in standard collet systems without adapters. The 2-inch overall length keeps the tool compact for rigid setups with minimal deflection. The Series AADF designation places it within a Kennametal family of standard-geometry carbide end mills appropriate for general-purpose milling tasks across a variety of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with Micrograin K600 grade for wear resistance and edge retention
• 45-degree helix angle for smooth chip flow and reduced cutting pressure
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for use on standard CNC and manual mills
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for applications where coating is not required or where regrinding is planned
• 2-flute configuration provides adequate chip clearance for small-diameter milling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for general-purpose milling operations requiring a 3/16-inch diameter, 2-flute tool with a 3/16-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide is brittle and sensitive to impact damage during handling.
