M.a. Ford. 12107090 Square End Mill 0.0709 in 2 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 12107090 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.0709-inch cutting diameter and a 0.2126-inch length of cut, this end mill is suited for fine detail work, slotting, and profiling in tight geometries. The tool features 2 flutes with a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix and a right-hand cutting direction, promoting efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. It is uncoated, centercutting capable, and built on a straight-cylindrical shank. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments install this tool in compatible collets or end mill holders.

This end mill is appropriate for milling a broad range of workpiece materials, covering multiple primary material codes including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, steel, and high-temperature alloys. At 1.5 inches overall length on a regular-length platform, it fits standard tooling setups without requiring extended reach configurations. It is well suited to light-duty passes, finishing cuts, and detail work where a small-diameter solid carbide tool is required. The Series 121 designation identifies it within M.A. FORD.'s catalog of standard square end mills.

Key Features

• 0.0709-inch cutting diameter for fine-detail and small-geometry milling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters
• 2-flute design with 30-degree right-hand spiral helix for efficient chip flow
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry into workpiece material
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a wide material range
• Straight-cylindrical shank for use in standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for machining operations requiring a small-diameter, 2-flute solid carbide square end mill in a regular-length configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism to the holder manufacturer's specification. At this diameter, tool runout is critical — verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts to avoid premature breakage.
