M.a. Ford. 11107000A Square End Mill 0.07in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11107000A is a 4-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding production environments. It features a 0.0700-inch cutting diameter, a 0.21-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree spiral helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The micrograin carbide substrate provides hardness and edge retention well beyond high-speed steel alternatives. An ALtima coating adds heat and wear resistance, extending tool life across a broad range of workpiece materials. This tool is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC milling equipment.

This end mill is well suited for finish and semi-finish milling of small-diameter features including slots, pockets, and profiles. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry are standard for conventional CNC milling setups. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.125 inches in diameter, fitting standard collets and tool holders sized for 1/8-inch shanks. The overall length of 1.5 inches keeps the tool compact for close-tolerance work requiring minimal runout. Workpiece material compatibility codes include H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, non-metals, steel, and heat-resistant alloys.

Key Features

• 0.0700-inch cutting diameter with a tolerance of plus 0.0005 / minus 0.0005 inches for consistent feature accuracy
• 4-flute, 30-degree spiral helix geometry for balanced chip load and smooth surface finish
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• ALtima coating provides elevated wear and thermal resistance in demanding cuts
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Standard-length, straight-cylindrical shank for straightforward collet and end mill holder setup

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece material categories H, K, M, N, P, and S as designated by the manufacturer, covering steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, non-metals, hardened materials, and heat-resistant superalloys. This is a Series 111 standard-length square end mill for use with 1/8-inch collets or end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists with the spindle at a full stop and the machine in a locked-out, de-energized state per your facility lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the collet or tool holder bore is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after securing the tool, as excessive runout on a 0.0700-inch diameter tool will accelerate edge wear and risk breakage. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling manufacturer feeds-and-speeds recommendations for the specific workpiece material being cut.
