M.a. Ford. 11150000A Square End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Tialn

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11150000A is a square end mill designed for precision material removal in machining operations. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with TiAlN, it delivers hardness and heat resistance suited to demanding cutting applications. The 1/2-inch diameter cutting edge spans a 1-inch length of cut, with a 3-inch overall length and a 1/2-inch straight-cylindrical shank. The four-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This tool is centercutting, allowing plunge entry, and is manufactured to a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.003 inches.

This end mill is suited for milling operations across a range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, structural steels, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It fits standard machining centers and CNC mills that accept a 1/2-inch straight shank. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in job shop and production environments. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in high-speed cutting
• Four right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• 1/2-inch diameter with +0.000 / -0.003-inch tolerance for consistent fit
• Series 111 regular-length geometry for standard machining setups

Compatibility

Compatible with machining centers and CNC mills accepting a 1/2-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, structural steels, and high-temperature alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Secure the shank fully within the tool holder collet to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth and confirm runout before operation. Power down and lock out the spindle before tool changes. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed selection based on workpiece material.
