M.a. Ford. 13810007F Square End Mill 1 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 13810007F is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance material removal in professional machining applications. With a 1-inch cutting diameter, a 4-inch length of cut, and a 6-inch overall length, this single-end tool is built for deep-reach milling operations where rigidity and precision matter. The micrograin carbide substrate and 36-degree helical flute geometry support aggressive chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. A titanium diboride (TiB2) coating reduces friction and extends tool life in demanding non-ferrous metal applications. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

The 13810007F is engineered primarily for non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, copper, brass, and similar materials where sharp geometry and low-friction coatings deliver the best results. The 3-flute configuration balances chip clearance with surface finish quality, making it well suited for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations. The straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance ensures a secure, accurate fit in standard toolholders and collet chucks. This is a Series 138 end mill from M.A. FORD., intended for production-grade CNC milling setups.

Key Features

• 1-inch cutting diameter with a tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.0005 inches for precision fitment
• 4-inch length of cut supports deep slotting and extended-reach profiling operations
• 3-flute helical geometry at 36 degrees promotes efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials
• Titanium diboride (TiB2) coating reduces built-up edge and friction in aluminum and other soft metals
• Micrograin solid carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance in demanding cutting conditions
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation; center-cutting capable for plunge entry

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-inch-bore toolholders and collet chucks accepting a straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material designation is non-ferrous metal (material code N), covering applications in aluminum, copper, brass, and similar alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the end mill. Verify toolholder runout with a dial indicator before running at full feed and speed, as excessive runout accelerates wear and reduces dimensional accuracy. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting cutting parameters.
