M.a. Ford. 11610000 Square End Mill 1 Inch 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11610000 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 1 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/2 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length with a 1 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it runs a 3-flute, right-hand spiral configuration at a 30-degree helix angle. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in job shop, production, or toolroom environments.

The 11610000 is suited for milling ferrous and non-ferrous metals across a range of material categories including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, aluminum, steel, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its regular-length profile and straight shank make it a standard fit for most vertical machining centers and CNC knee mills. The uncoated micrograin carbide substrate is appropriate for applications where a base carbide geometry is preferred before any additional coating process, or where uncoated tooling is specifically required.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for improved wear resistance and edge retention
• 3-flute right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• 1 inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.003 inches
• Straight-cylindrical shank for standard ER or end mill holder compatibility
• No chipbreaker, uncoated finish — regular length Series 116

Compatibility

Suitable for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and high-temperature alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the tool holder. Use a properly sized end mill holder or collet chuck torqued to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the shank and cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.
