Built from micrograin solid carbide and finished with a TiAlN coating, it delivers extended tool life when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 3\/16 inch cutting diameter and 5\/8 inch length of cut make it well-suited for tight-tolerance profiling, slotting, and contouring passes. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation, and the centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration suits standard CNC and manual milling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is rated for use on a broad range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, plastics, and high-temperature alloys, as indicated by material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The straight cylindrical shank at 3\/16 inch diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found in vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills. It is intended for professional machinists and tool-and-die technicians working in production or job-shop environments where consistent geometry and coating uniformity matter on every pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiAlN finish extends tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute for standard spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of plus 0.000 \/ minus 0.002 inches for close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, plastics, and high-temperature alloys.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder and torque the retention hardware to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator after mounting, as excessive runout at this diameter will accelerate flute wear and degrade surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6250 inches (5\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 \/ minus 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 11618750A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740442886450,"sku":"11618750A","price":56.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8d3d4c641788c30e3622245a1a992645.jpg?v=1788825040","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-11618750a-square-end-mill-3-16-inch-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
