Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers the hardness and edge retention required for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, cast iron, stainless steel, titanium, and high-temperature alloys. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting at elevated feed rates. At 7\/8 inch in diameter with a 1-1\/2 inch length of cut and 4 inch overall length, this end mill fits standard toolholders and suits a wide range of roughing and finishing operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for use on vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills requiring a 7\/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S indicate compatibility across hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, carbon and alloy steels, and heat-resistant superalloys. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece, expanding its utility in slotting, profiling, pocketing, and peripheral milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 right-hand flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish; suitable for use with cutting fluids on a broad range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical 7\/8 inch shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.003 inches for close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production end mill for applications requiring a 7\/8 inch diameter, 4-flute solid carbide square end mill with a straight-cylindrical shank, per M.A. FORD.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before engaging the workpiece, and confirm spindle speed and feed rate settings match the workpiece material and depth of cut before starting the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch (0.8750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches (1.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch (0.8750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.003 inches\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 111\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 11187500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744777339186,"sku":"11187500","price":562.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/90292fc2254e2b2326aa4bb06e77bef9_6005bb47-31c3-4710-b489-e9b380120690.jpg?v=1788860394","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-11187500-square-end-mill-7-8-inch-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
