M.a. Ford. 11123623 Corner Radius End Mill 6mm 4 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11123623 is a 4-flute solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. The tool features a 6 mm cutting diameter and a 1.00 mm corner radius that reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge, extending tool life and improving surface finish. With a 20.00 mm length of cut, 64.00 mm overall length, and a 6.00 mm straight cylindrical shank, it fits standard toolholders used across CNC machining centers. The 30-degree medium helix and right-hand spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation during both roughing and finishing passes. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention needed for high-speed cutting cycles.

This Series 111 end mill is suited for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. It is a single-end, centercutting tool, meaning it can be plunged directly into the workpiece where the operation requires. The bright uncoated finish makes it well-suited for applications where coatings are not desired, such as certain non-ferrous or superalloy operations where adhesion or heat response differs from coated tooling. It is used in production and job shop environments on vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• 6 mm cutting diameter with 1.00 mm corner radius for reduced edge chipping and improved surface finish
• 4 right-hand spiral flutes with normal pitch for balanced chip load across roughing and finishing
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for high hardness and wear resistance
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• 30-degree medium helix promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials including superalloys and titanium

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard cylindrical-bore toolholders accepting a 6.00 mm straight shank. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metal, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials per the manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and in a safe state per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Verify toolholder bore and collet size match the 6.00 mm shank diameter before seating the tool. Confirm runout with a dial indicator after clamping, as excessive runout accelerates wear on carbide end mills. Do not exceed the manufacturer-recommended cutting parameters for the workpiece material and machine setup.
