It features a 1\/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length, classifying it as an extra-long configuration within the Series 122 lineup. The four-flute spiral design provides a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish quality. Micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding cutting environments. The uncoated finish makes this end mill well suited for applications where re-coating or specific surface treatments will be applied after purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including steels, cast irons, stainless alloys, titanium alloys, aluminum, and non-metallic composites, as indicated by workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry without a pilot hole. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure clamping in standard collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling systems commonly used in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry enables direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch length of cut supports deeper cavity and slot work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated surface finish compatible with post-purchase coating processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical 1\/4 inch shank fits standard collet and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 1\/4 inch straight-shank toolholders used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills requiring a four-flute square end mill in the Series 122 configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth per the toolholder manufacturer's guidelines, and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the end mill manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut or feed rate for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Long\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: 122\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\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: 12225000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728061038898,"sku":"12225000","price":82.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/08bf7fe380347a227e9716a3f28dae1f_eff1968a-9555-4372-860c-75b0effa4b2a.jpg?v=1788687244","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-12225000-square-end-mill-1-4-in-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
