M.a. Ford. 11119683 Corner Radius End Mill 5mm 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11119683 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. It features a 5 mm cutting diameter with a 1 mm corner radius, a 20 mm length of cut, and 4 right-hand spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle. The micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for both roughing and finishing passes. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating is not required or where post-coat grinding is planned. This is a single-end, centercutting tool with a straight cylindrical shank and normal pitch fluting. It is installed in standard toolholders and is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Its corner radius geometry reduces stress concentrations at the cutting edge, extending tool life in slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations. The 5 mm shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, allowing it to seat directly in collet-style or shrink-fit toolholders without a reducer. Typical applications include contouring, peripheral milling, and finishing of complex part features where a sharp corner is not specified by the print.

Key Features

• 5 mm cutting diameter with 1 mm corner radius for reduced edge chipping and improved surface finish
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and thermal stability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• 4 right-hand flutes with 30-degree medium helix for balanced chip evacuation in both roughing and finishing
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Bright, uncoated surface finish suitable for applications where coating buildup would affect tolerances
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard collet, shrink-fit, and hydraulic toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders accepting a 5 mm straight cylindrical shank. Suitable as a Series 111 M.A. FORD. replacement or direct-specification tool for CNC machining centers and manual mills where a 5 mm corner radius end mill is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician with the spindle fully stopped and machine in an e-stop or lockout state. Ensure the shank is clean and free of chips before seating in the toolholder, and confirm runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended clamping torque. Refer to the machine tool builder's documentation and applicable shop safety standards when establishing feeds and speeds.
