It features a 0.2187 inch (7\/32 inch) mill diameter, a 0.625 inch length of cut, and a 2.5 inch overall length with a 0.25 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The four-flute, right-hand spiral design runs at a 30-degree helix angle, and the ALtima coating extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. This end mill is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry. It is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring tight-tolerance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for a broad range of materials including high-temperature alloys, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, steel, and titanium alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its standard length classification and micrograin carbide grade make it a practical choice for production milling, slotting, and profiling operations where dimensional consistency and edge retention are priorities. The Series 111 designation identifies it within the M.A. FORD product family for straight-shank solid carbide end mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.2187 inch (7\/32 inch) mill diameter with a tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches for close-fit applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-flute spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima coating for improved wear resistance and thermal protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge and ramp entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC and manual mill spindle use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering high-temperature alloys, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, steel, and titanium alloys.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or tool holder. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.25 inch shank diameter to prevent runout. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material being cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2187 inches (7\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches (5\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches (2-1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin Grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 111\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0563 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: M.A. FORD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11121870A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750786924850,"sku":"11121870A","price":77.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/90292fc2254e2b2326aa4bb06e77bef9_2ff356f7-834a-4b2a-8ee5-3bcf2676c4ad.jpg?v=1788919688","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-11121870a-square-end-mill-4-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
