M.a. Ford. 11102360 Square End Mill 0.0236 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11102360 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for precision micro-milling applications. With a 0.0236-inch (0.60 mm) mill diameter and a 0.0709-inch (1.80 mm) length of cut, this tool is designed for tight-tolerance work in small-feature machining. The four-flute geometry and 30-degree helix angle support efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. At 1.5 inches overall length, the tool fits standard CNC machining centers and manual mills. It is centercutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece. Machinists and toolroom operators running high-precision parts rely on this class of end mill for demanding detail work.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC milling operations requiring micro-diameter tooling. The Series 111 designation places it within M.A. FORD.'s standard-length, straight-cylindrical-shank family. It is rated for use across a broad range of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant alloys, and non-metallic materials, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The uncoated carbide substrate is appropriate for applications where coating is not required or where re-grinding is anticipated.

Key Features

• 0.0236-inch (0.60 mm) mill diameter for micro-milling and fine-detail cutting
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision applications
• Four-flute design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard collet and ER chuck systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3.00 mm (0.118-inch) straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for workpiece materials classified under codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, stainless, heat-resistant alloys, and composites.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank in a clean, properly sized collet or ER chuck and torque the retention nut per the collet manufacturer's specifications. At this diameter, runout control is critical — inspect the tool holder for contamination or wear before seating the tool. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped before tool changes.
