M.a. Ford. 12150000R.0625 Corner Radius End Mill

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 12150000R.0625 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in demanding machining environments. With a 0.5-inch mill diameter, a 0.0625-inch corner radius, and 2 right-hand spiral flutes, it delivers controlled material removal with reduced edge chipping at workpiece corners. The bright uncoated finish suits applications where coating interaction with certain materials is a concern. This is a single-end, centercutting tool, meaning it can plunge directly into the workpiece. It is sized and geometrically configured for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with standard toolholders accepting a 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

This end mill is built for machinists working with a wide range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. It fits coarse-pitch, regular-length applications in both production and job-shop environments. The 1-inch length of cut and 3-inch overall length make it well-suited for medium-depth peripheral and slot milling passes where rigidity and tool life are priorities. Series 121 tooling from M.A. FORD. is engineered for right-hand cutting direction with a medium helix style, supporting chip evacuation across the listed material families.

Key Features

• 0.0625-inch corner radius reduces stress concentrations at milled corners and extends tool life on hardened and tough materials
• Solid carbide micrograin construction provides rigidity and wear resistance across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and superalloys
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and suits non-ferrous and reactive material applications
• Right-hand flute direction and medium helix promote efficient chip evacuation during climb or conventional milling
• Straight-cylindrical 0.5-inch shank is compatible with standard ER collet chucks and milling toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders accepting a 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for CNC machining centers and manual mills running right-hand cutting operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the end mill. Verify runout at the shank before engaging the cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece. Do not exceed the rated length of cut when programming axial depth of pass.
