M.a. Ford. 13818757N Square End Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 13818757N is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling in non-ferrous metal applications. It features a 0.1875 inch (3/16 inch) cutting diameter, a 0.25 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length. The three-flute geometry combined with a 36-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Manufactured from micrograin carbide in a bright/uncoated finish, this end mill delivers consistent dimensional accuracy with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches. It is a single-end, center-cutting tool with a right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral configuration.

This end mill is suited for stub-length milling operations on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. The extended reach design, with a 1 inch neck length and 1 inch reach length, allows access to features requiring clearance beyond the cutting zone. The straight cylindrical shank at 0.1875 inch diameter fits standard collet and end mill holders. It is appropriate for CNC machining centers and manual mills in job shop, production, and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• 36-degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces cutting forces on non-ferrous materials
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry into workpiece
• Extended reach with 1 inch neck length provides clearance for deeper features
• Bright/uncoated finish suited for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches for close-tolerance work

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/16 inch collets or end mill holders. Intended for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials per Series 138N application guidelines. No specific machine model compatibility data was provided in the input.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is properly cleaned before seating the shank. Torque the collet nut or set screw to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout at the cutting diameter before beginning production cuts.
