M.a. Ford. 11609370R.015 Corner Radius End Mill

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11609370R.015 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in demanding material applications. It features a 0.0937-inch diameter cutting face, a 0.015-inch corner radius, and 3 right-hand spiral flutes with a medium helix angle. The single-end, centercutting design allows plunge entry as well as peripheral and end milling. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 1/8-inch straight cylindrical shank, this tool fits standard toolholders used in CNC machining centers and manual mills. It is suited for both roughing and finishing passes across a broad range of workpiece materials.

This end mill is built for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Its regular-length flute geometry and 9/32-inch length of cut make it well-matched to shallow-to-medium-depth slotting, profiling, and contouring operations. The uncoated bright finish is appropriate for applications where coating is not required or where re-sharpening is anticipated. It ships as a single-piece unit and is part of M.A. FORD. Series 116.

Key Features

• 0.015-inch corner radius reduces stress concentrations and improves surface finish on profiled edges
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• 3 right-hand spiral flutes with normal pitch for balanced chip evacuation during roughing and finishing
• Straight cylindrical 1/8-inch shank for compatibility with standard collet and toolholder systems
• No chipbreaker geometry, maintaining a clean cutting edge for smooth finishing cuts

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders accepting a 1/8-inch straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials as defined by material codes P, M, K, N, S, and H.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard toolholder torque and runout procedures for the machine in use. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing or seating this end mill. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator prior to cutting. Confirm cutting direction is set to right-hand rotation to match the flute geometry of this tool.
