Built from micrograin carbide stock, the tool delivers a 0.25 inch cutting diameter with a 2 inch length of cut and a 4 inch overall length. A 36-degree helical flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. The titanium diboride coating adds surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life in demanding production environments. This is a single-end, right-hand cut tool with a straight cylindrical shank, sized at 0.25 inch shank diameter. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this series when working aluminum, brass, copper, and similar non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 13825010F belongs to M.A. FORD Series 138 and is intended for milling operations on non-ferrous metals in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. Its centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The three-flute configuration balances chip load with feed rate, making it well suited for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are priorities. It is sold as a single unit and is a common choice for production shops running aluminum components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium diboride coating for extended tool life in non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36-degree right-hand helical flute for aggressive chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design enables direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-flute geometry balances chip load and feed rate in slotting and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance held to +0.000 to -0.0005 inches for close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and production tool for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.25 inch straight cylindrical shank, with primary application in non-ferrous metal workpiece materials per Series 138 specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention system per the machine tool manufacturer specification. Inspect the collet bore for runout before tightening; excessive runout accelerates premature tool wear on small-diameter carbide end mills. Handle carbide tooling carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edges during storage and setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 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, Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Diboride\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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: 13825010F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740356542770,"sku":"13825010F","price":184.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f857fc6fa96f6209f77d67bdd9e438b4_58d80646-ac5e-41d3-8495-1c14b6c799e6.jpg?v=1788824503","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-13825010f-square-end-mill-0-25in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
