M.a. Ford. 11418750T Square End Mill 3/16 Inch 4 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11418750T is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composite, and engineering-grade materials. It features a 3/16-inch cutting diameter, a 5/8-inch length of cut (LOC), and an overall length (OAL) of 2 inches. The four-flute, helical design with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and a smooth finish. A titanium nitride (TiN) coating increases surface hardness and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. This is a single-end, centercutting tool, meaning it can plunge as well as cut laterally. Installation and use are performed by machinists and CNC operators.

This end mill is suited for general-purpose milling, slotting, profiling, and plunging in shop and production environments. The regular-length geometry makes it a practical choice for standard-depth pockets and contour work on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration is the most common spindle-compatible orientation for conventional machine setups. Its compact 3/16-inch diameter is well matched to fine-detail work, narrow slots, and tight-radius profiling where larger tools cannot reach.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiN coating for increased hardness and extended tool life
• 4-flute helical design with 30-degree helix for efficient chip flow
• Centercutting geometry allows axial plunge cuts
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility
• Single-end design with 3/16-inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/16-inch shank end mill via ER collet, end mill holder, or equivalent workholding.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by qualified machinists or CNC technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank to the appropriate runout specification for the collet or holder being used. Verify spindle speed and feed rate against the material being cut and the manufacturer cutting data before starting a program.
