Ford. 12105500 Square End Mill 0.055 in 2 Flute Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD. 12105500 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of metalworking and industrial machining applications. With a 0.055-inch cutting diameter and a 0.165-inch length of cut, this tool handles fine detail work and small-feature milling where dimensional accuracy is critical. The 1\/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank and 1.5-inch overall length make it compatible with standard collet and chuck setups on CNC machining centers and manual mills. Two spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This is a right-hand cut, right-hand flute, centercutting tool, meaning it can be used for both plunge and peripheral milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 12105500 is suited for machining a broad spectrum of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, and titanium, as indicated by the primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its regular length classification and small diameter make it well suited to tight-tolerance profiling, slotting, and contouring operations in production and job-shop environments. Machinists and CNC programmers working with micro-features or small-scale components will find this end mill appropriate for those demanding requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.055-inch cutting diameter with a diameter tolerance of plus 0.0005 inch and minus 0.0005 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry enables direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle on spiral flutes supports efficient chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish; Series 121 designation from M.A. FORD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in the M.A. FORD.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in a safe state before changing tooling. The 1\/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank requires a properly sized collet or end mill holder torqued according to the machine or toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool to protect the small-diameter carbide from premature breakage during initial cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.055 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.0005 inches \/ minus 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.165 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 121\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 12105500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748623941938,"sku":"12105500","price":49.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/91d6ee9c1af543970e70c7145518c564.jpg?v=1788895851","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-12105500-square-end-mill-0-055-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
