M.a. Ford. 11107090A Square End Mill 0.0709 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11107090A is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of materials. It features a 0.0709-inch (1.8 mm) cutting diameter, a 0.2126-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle with a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The ALtima coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding applications. Built from micrograin carbide, this end mill delivers consistent edge integrity at small diameters. It is centercutting and suited for plunge, slot, and profile milling operations. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on close-tolerance components will find this tool well suited to finish and semi-finish passes.

This end mill is rated for use across multiple workpiece material categories, including hardened materials (H), cast iron (K), stainless steel (M), non-ferrous metals (N), steel (P), and heat-resistant superalloys (S). Its standard-length geometry and straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with common collet and end mill holder systems used in CNC machining centers and manual mills. The 0.1181-inch (3.00 mm) shank diameter is sized for small-diameter toolholding setups. Typical applications include mold and die work, prototype machining, and precision component manufacturing where small cutting diameters and tight tolerances are required.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention at 0.0709-inch diameter
• ALtima coating for enhanced wear resistance across diverse workpiece materials
• 4-flute, right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capability enables plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut with straight-cylindrical shank fits standard small-diameter collet systems
• Rated for material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S per ISO classification

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with collet systems or end mill holders accepting a 0.1181-inch (3.00 mm) straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for milling operations across material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S as defined by the supplier specifications for this Series 111 tool.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out per shop safety procedures. Ensure the collet or toolholder bore is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Torque the collet nut to the toolholder manufacturer's specification - do not use values not provided for this specific toolholder. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as runout at this diameter can significantly affect tool life and part accuracy.
