It features a 9\/16-inch mill diameter, a 1-1\/8-inch length of cut, and a 3-1\/2-inch overall length. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for demanding cuts. The uncoated, spiral-flute geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation. Centercutting capability allows for direct plunge entry without a pilot hole. Installed by machinists and tooling specialists, this end mill suits CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring consistent dimensional performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling ferrous and non-ferrous materials across a range of workpiece material codes including H, K, M, N, P, and S categories, covering cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, and heat-resistant alloys. Its regular-length profile makes it appropriate for standard-depth slot milling, profile milling, and peripheral milling operations in job shop and production environments. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard collet and end mill holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9\/16-inch mill diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.003 inches for consistent sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluids depending on material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the M.A. FORD.

Before changing tooling, de-energize the machine, disengage the spindle, and follow the machine tool lockout procedure per shop safety protocols. Verify shank runout and holder condition prior to mounting to maintain diameter tolerance. Avoid overtightening set-screw holders, as this can damage the straight-cylindrical shank surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8 inches (1.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 121\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 12156250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751012925746,"sku":"12156250","price":241.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/75ee381361ad2368493382236f86aa62_b368e48b-1152-4c31-b52b-aec56bc4b697.jpg?v=1788921149","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-12156250-square-end-mill-9-16-inch-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
