Ford 13231250 Square End Mill 5\/16 Inch Solid Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 13231250 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for roughing and finishing operations in a single tool. It runs a 4-flute configuration with a 30-degree helix angle and a right-hand cutting direction, making it well-suited for general-purpose material removal and finish passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The uncoated carbide construction provides rigidity and heat resistance in demanding cutting conditions. With an extra long overall length of 3.25 inches and a length of cut of 1.375 inches, this mill handles deeper pockets and stepped features where a standard-length tool cannot reach. Chipbreaker geometry reduces cutting forces and helps with chip evacuation during aggressive passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill fits typical CNC machining center and manual milling applications where a single tool must handle both stock removal and surface finishing. The 5\/16-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard ER collets and end mill holders used in production shops, tool rooms, and job shops. It is a single-end tool, so the full shank length is available for gripping. The Series 132 designation places it in M.A. FORD's extra long length lineup, useful when machining deep cavities, tall workpiece features, or fixtures with obstructed access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute chipbreaker geometry supports both roughing and finishing in one pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers stiffness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra long OAL of 3.25 inches with 1.375-inch length of cut for deep-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid on a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 5\/16-inch shank for secure clamping in standard toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with standard end mill holders or ER collet chucks accepting a 5\/16-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding torque and runout guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is clean and free of chips before seating in the holder. Minimum stick-out beyond the holder should be used to maximize rigidity, particularly given the extra long length of this tool. Verify feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut against the workpiece material before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\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\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Long Length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 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: 13231250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743896699186,"sku":"13231250","price":117.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bb76902bc46119661ebd5c61c94f3f95.jpg?v=1788851047","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-13231250-square-end-mill-5-16-inch-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
