M.a. Ford. 11612500R.020A Corner Radius End Mill 1/8 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 11612500R.020A is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. With a 1/8 inch diameter, 0.02 inch corner radius, and 3 flutes in a right-hand spiral configuration, this tool delivers both roughing and finishing capability in a single end, centercutting design. The AlTiN (ALtima) PVD coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life when cutting ferrous and hard materials. At 1-1/2 inches overall length with a 3/8 inch length of cut, this is a compact, rigid tool suited for precision slot milling, profiling, and contouring operations.

This end mill is built for machinists working with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The Series 116 design with a 30-degree medium helix and normal pitch suits a wide range of CNC milling applications where corner integrity and surface finish are critical. It is intended for use with standard toolholders accepting a 1/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry, giving machinists flexibility in complex part programs.

Key Features

• 0.02 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration and improves corner finish on milled pockets and profiles
• AlTiN (ALtima) PVD coating rated for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials
• 3-flute solid carbide construction supports both roughing and finishing passes in a single tool
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry point
• Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting orientation for standard CNC milling spindle compatibility
• Straight-cylindrical 1/8 inch shank fits standard collet chucks and toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with toolholders accepting a 1/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials as noted in the Series 116 material application specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, powered-down state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout at the tool tip before beginning a production cut, as excessive runout will accelerate wear on a small-diameter carbide end mill.
