Built on the Series 121 platform, it features a 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch) cutting diameter, a 3\/8 inch length of cut, and a 1-1\/2 inch overall length. The two-flute, right-hand spiral geometry runs at a 30-degree helix angle, promoting efficient chip evacuation in slotting and peripheral milling passes. Micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention in demanding cutting conditions. The uncoated finish suits shops that prefer to apply their own coolant strategy or work with materials sensitive to coating chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for light to medium milling work in job shop and production environments. Its 1\/8 inch shank diameter and compact overall length make it a fit for small-feature work, tight-tolerance profiling, and die or mold detail passes. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled start hole, adding flexibility in 3-axis CNC and manual milling setups. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in precision machining, tool-and-die, and aerospace fabrication shops are the primary installers of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for edge hardness and long tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand spiral flute promotes chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-flute configuration suits slotting, profiling, and small-feature detail work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials and coolant types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches ensures consistent close-tolerance fit\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.

Secure the shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the drawbar or nut according to the machine manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges under magnification before use and replace the tool at first sign of edge chipping or wear. Always follow your facility's lockout procedure before changing tooling on any spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inch (1.5000 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\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\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: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 121\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\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: 12112500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730921062706,"sku":"12112500","price":38.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b2dae483bdbec4437e39474c24be3857.jpg?v=1788724818","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-12112500-square-end-mill-1-8-inch-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
