It features a 0.125-inch mill diameter, a 0.25-inch length of cut, and a 1.5-inch overall length with a straight cylindrical shank measuring 0.13 inches in diameter. The three-flute helical geometry with a 36-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This uncoated end mill is centercutting, allowing for direct plunge entry into workpieces. It is suited for machinists and tooling professionals working on small-diameter, high-precision cuts in CNC and manual milling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials where sharp, uncoated cutting edges perform well. The small 0.125-inch diameter makes it particularly applicable in fine detail work, slotting, profiling, and contouring operations where tight tolerances are required. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are standard for conventional milling machine spindles. The Series 138 designation places it within M.A. FORD. established lineup of small-diameter solid end mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.125-inch mill diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.000 to -0.0005 inches for precise fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree helical flutes at a 36-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated carbide construction suited for non-ferrous workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for secure collet or chuck holding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for milling operations on non-ferrous metals, consistent with Series 138 small-diameter square end mill applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the straight cylindrical shank in an appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.125-inch shank diameter. Verify runout and holding torque per machine manufacturer guidelines before beginning any cutting operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 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: 13812501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740403597618,"sku":"13812501","price":47.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/30ffcc47d597a3385cedb40580a14b4b.jpg?v=1788824787","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-13812501-square-end-mill-1-8-in-3-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
