Ford 13837507 Square End Mill 3\/8 Inch Solid Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 13837507 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. With a 3\/8 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1\/2 inch length of cut, and a 3-1\/2 inch overall length, this tool falls into the extra-long category, giving machinists the reach needed for deeper pockets and profiling passes. It runs three flutes in a right-hand spiral configuration at a 36-degree helix angle, optimizing chip evacuation and surface finish. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for consistent dimensional accuracy in production or job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling aluminum, brass, copper, plastics, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials where a sharp, uncoated carbide edge performs reliably. The extra-long length of cut makes it practical for deep-slot milling, side milling, and profiling applications where standard-length tools cannot reach. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and milling tool holders sized for 3\/8 inch shanks. It is used in vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers as well as manual knee mills by machinists and toolroom technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch cutting diameter with a tolerance of +0.0000 \/ -0.0005 inches for tight dimensional control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-flute spiral design at 36-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry enables direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra-long 1-1\/2 inch length of cut provides reach for deep pockets and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers superior rigidity and edge life compared to HSS tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8 inch collet chucks and milling tool holders; part of the M.A. FORD Series 138 extra-long square end mill line intended for non-ferrous metal machining applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's recommended tooling and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or tool holder and torque the retention hardware according to the holder manufacturer's guidelines. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches (1.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches\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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Long\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: 0.2 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: 13837507\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737841631538,"sku":"13837507","price":182.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f857fc6fa96f6209f77d67bdd9e438b4_38e4ebf8-ca34-41f4-8f70-7d8ee71ae9d7.jpg?v=1788794160","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-13837507-square-end-mill-3-8-inch-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
