M.a. Ford 13831500R.079 Corner Radius End Mill 8mm 3 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 13831500R.079 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in non-ferrous metal applications. Built to Series 138 specifications, it features an 8 mm cutting diameter, a 2 mm corner radius, and three right-hand spiral flutes with a 36-degree helix angle. The bright, uncoated finish is well suited for aluminum, copper, brass, and similar materials where coating adhesion or heat buildup are concerns. This single-end, center-cutting tool handles both roughing and finishing passes, making it a versatile option for machinists and tool-and-die professionals running tight-tolerance work.

This end mill fits standard straight-cylindrical toolholders with an 8 mm shank. It is commonly used in CNC machining centers for contouring, profiling, and pocket milling in non-ferrous workpiece materials. The 19 mm length of cut and short-length designation make it a rigid choice for setups where chatter control and repeatability are priorities. The corner radius geometry reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life compared to square-end configurations.

Key Features

• 8 mm cutting diameter with matching 8 mm straight-cylindrical shank for direct toolholder compatibility
• 2 mm corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress concentration during milling
• 3-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with 36-degree medium helix for efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Bright, uncoated solid carbide construction optimized for non-ferrous metal machining
• Handles both roughing and finishing material removal in a single tool

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-cylindrical toolholders accepting an 8 mm shank diameter. Optimized for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials per Series 138R application guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the controller is in a safe state before changing tooling. Verify runout after installation using a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds based on workpiece material.
