Ford 13825005 Square End Mill 1\/4 in 3-flute Solid Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 13825005 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. It features a 0.25-inch cutting diameter, a 1-inch length of cut, and a 36-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The three-flute geometry balances chip clearance with rigidity, making it well suited for slotting, profiling, and finishing passes. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flutes are standard. This is a centercutting tool, allowing plunge entry directly into the workpiece. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC programmers working with aluminum, brass, copper, and similar non-ferrous materials will find this tool a reliable choice for production and prototype work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13825005 belongs to M.A. FORD Series 138, a long-length end mill line with a 3-inch overall length and a straight cylindrical shank. The longer reach relative to a standard-length end mill makes it appropriate for deeper pockets, stepped features, and applications where clearance between the holder and workpiece is a concern. It is intended for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and similar rigid machine tool setups. Primary workpiece material classification is non-ferrous metal (Material Code N), covering alloys such as aluminum, brass, and copper. No chipbreaker geometry is present, and the tool carries no coating, leaving the carbide substrate exposed for applications where an uncoated finish is preferred or required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces built-up edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design permits direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-flute configuration balances material removal rate with chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-length Series 138 geometry with 3-inch OAL for extended reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 \/ -0.0005 inches for consistent fit and finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-specification solid carbide end mill for use in standard 1\/4-inch collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool from its holder. Verify collet or holder bore size matches the 0.25-inch shank diameter and that runout is within acceptable limits before commencing a cut. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and machine rigidity; consult M.A. FORD published speeds and feeds data for Series 138 tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\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: Spiral\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138\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: Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 13825005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743626723634,"sku":"13825005","price":84.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f857fc6fa96f6209f77d67bdd9e438b4_44067da7-e88d-4ea7-ba81-b6a6851fba71.jpg?v=1788848589","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-13825005-square-end-mill-1-4-in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
