M.a. Ford. 11111810 Square End Mill 0.1181 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11111810 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of materials. It features a 0.1181 inch cutting diameter, a 0.4724 inch length of cut, and a four-flute helical design with a 30-degree helix angle. The micrograin carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance needed for consistent performance in demanding machining environments. The bright uncoated finish suits applications where coating is unnecessary or undesirable. This tool is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators working with milling machines and machining centers.

The 11111810 is suited for milling operations on a broad range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, aluminum alloys, and high-temperature alloys as indicated by material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The standard length profile and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with conventional collet and end mill holders. It is centercutting, allowing plunge milling entries where required. This end mill is appropriate for both roughing and finishing passes at small diameters in production and prototype environments.

Key Features

• 0.1181 inch cutting diameter with matching 0.1181 inch straight cylindrical shank
• Four helical flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry cuts
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation
• Bright uncoated finish; compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

The 11111810 is rated for use on workpiece materials corresponding to codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys. It is part of M.A. FORD. Series 111.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on CNC or manual milling equipment. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the straight cylindrical shank fully and evenly in a collet or end mill holder and torque to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout at the cutting edge before beginning a production run to prevent premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
