0.0472" (1.20mm) x .195" LOC 2-Flute Up-Cut Square End Carbide End Mill, 1/8" Shank | K008

1.20mm (.0472") 2-Flute Up-Cut Square End Carbide End Mill – K008

This Kyocera solid micrograin carbide end mill features a precision 1.20mm (.0472") cutting diameter, .195" length of cut, 2-flute up-cut square end geometry, 1.50" overall length, and a standard 1/8" shank. It is designed for precision CNC milling, narrow slotting, profiling, contouring, and fine-detail machining where small cutting features are required.

Manufactured by Kyocera under part number 1660.0472.195A2, this precision carbide cutter combines a small cutting diameter with a relatively long flute section for applications requiring additional cutting reach.

The .195" flute length provides approximately 5mm of cutting reach for narrow slots, profiles, and small pockets. Compared with shorter-flute tools of similar diameter, this extended cutting section allows additional cutting depth but requires careful control of cutting forces and tool deflection.

The 2-flute up-cut spiral geometry helps evacuate chips upward and away from the cutting area during precision CNC machining. This is particularly useful for slotting, profiling, and pocketing applications where effective chip removal is important.

The square end geometry is suitable for slotting, profiling, pocketing, contouring, and producing flat-bottom features. Solid micrograin carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance for precision machining.

This tool can be used in plastics, acrylic, wood, fiberglass, composites, and selected soft non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass when suitable feeds, speeds, workholding, and machining conditions are maintained.

Additional Specialty Applications

This 1.20mm carbide end mill may also be useful for instrument makers, luthiers, model makers, jewelry work, miniature components, and other precision applications requiring narrow CNC cuts. Always verify the required slot width, cutting depth, material suitability, machine rigidity, and tool runout before machining.

For customers selecting tooling for instrument-related grooves, see our CNC Fret Slotting End Mills Collection. Confirm the required slot width before selecting a cutter.

Important Machining Considerations

This 1.20mm up-cut end mill requires appropriate precision machining conditions, particularly when utilizing its full .195" flute length. Use rigid workholding, accurate toolholding, minimal spindle runout, suitable spindle speeds, conservative cutting depths, and carefully selected feed rates. Up-cut geometry assists chip evacuation, but excessive cutting forces or tool deflection may cause premature breakage.
