Ford. 12111810 Square End Mill 0.1181 in 2 Flute Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD. 12111810 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. With a mill diameter of 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm), a length of cut of 0.4724 inches (12.00 mm), and a 0.1181 inch straight shank, this tool fits standard collet and end mill holders used in CNC mills and manual machining centers. The 2-flute configuration with a 30-degree right-hand helical spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Micrograin carbide substrate delivers the hardness and edge retention required when working in tough materials. This is a single-end, right-hand cut tool in the M.A. FORD. Series 121 lineup, supplied bright and uncoated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is rated for use across a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, high-temperature alloys, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and hardened materials. The 2-flute geometry makes it well suited for slotting, profiling, and plunge operations where chip clearance is critical, particularly in gummy or stringy materials. Standard length of cut puts it in the 0.3000 to 0.5000 inch LOC range category, making it appropriate for shallow-to-medium depth passes in tight-tolerance work. Machinists working in tool rooms, job shops, and production environments handling small-diameter detailed features will find this tool applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable  -  supports direct plunge entry without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for aluminum, non-ferrous, and general-purpose steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with straight shank for compatibility with standard collet holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo chipbreaker and no variable helix, providing consistent, predictable cutting behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard offering in the M.A. FORD.

Seat the straight shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention mechanism to the tool holder specification before operation. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, as solid carbide is brittle and sensitive to improper handling. Consult the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool data for recommended speeds and feeds based on workpiece material and depth of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4724 inches (12.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.040 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3000 to 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 121\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, High-Temp Alloy, Aluminum and Non-Ferrous, Hardened Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: 12111810\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51741056794930,"sku":"12111810","price":38.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c65d742901823fd017b717495784f083.jpg?v=1788829124","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-12111810-square-end-mill-0-1181-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
