M.a. Ford. 11175000A Square End Mill 3/4 Inch 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11175000A is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in CNC machining and manual milling applications. This centercutting, single-end tool features a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/2 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length with a straight-cylindrical 3/4 inch shank. The four-flute, right-hand spiral configuration paired with a TiAlN finish allows for efficient chip evacuation and heat resistance during high-speed cutting operations. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, this end mill delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for demanding production environments. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in job shop and production settings.

This end mill is suited for milling operations across a broad range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, aluminum alloys, heat-resistant superalloys, and titanium. The M.A. FORD. Series 111 designation identifies this as a regular-length, general-purpose end mill appropriate for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. Its 30-degree helix angle and spiral flute geometry make it a reliable choice in both roughing and finishing passes where consistent dimensional accuracy is required.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and high-temp alloy cutting
• Four right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry enables plunge milling and ramp entry
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• Diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.003 inches ensures consistent fit in collets and tool holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide end mill fitting standard 3/4 inch collets, ER collet chucks, and shrink-fit tool holders used in vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers. 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 heat-resistant superalloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists using a calibrated torque wrench and appropriate collet or chuck system. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine builder guidelines for feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut when programming toolpaths.
