M.a. Ford 13837508R.120 Corner Radius End Mill 3/8 in

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 13837508R.120 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling of non-ferrous metals. It features a 3/8-inch diameter, a 0.12-inch corner radius, and a 2-inch length of cut, making it well suited for both roughing and finishing operations in a single tool. The bright/uncoated finish is standard for non-ferrous applications where coating buildup on softer materials is a concern. With three flutes and a right-hand spiral flute direction, this end mill delivers efficient chip evacuation and consistent surface finish. It is centercutting, allowing plunge entry directly into the workpiece.

This end mill is built for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where tight tolerances and clean corner profiles are required in non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. The extra-long length type and 2-inch reach make it suitable for deeper pocket work where standard-length tools cannot reach. It mounts in standard straight-bore toolholders with a 3/8-inch bore. The Series 138 designation indicates this is part of M.A. FORD's established corner radius end mill line for general-purpose non-ferrous milling.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling
• 0.12-inch corner radius with tolerance of +0.002 to -0.002 inches for consistent profiling
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Bright/uncoated finish optimized for aluminum and other non-ferrous workpiece materials
• Three flutes with right-hand spiral for efficient chip evacuation and smooth finish
• Extra-long length type with 2-inch reach for deep pocket and extended-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-bore toolholders accepting a 3/8-inch shank diameter. Intended for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials as indicated by primary material code N.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and spindle fully stopped. Ensure the toolholder bore is clean and free of debris before seating the shank to maintain concentricity. Confirm pullout force and runout are within acceptable limits before beginning a cut. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds appropriate to non-ferrous materials when setting up this tool.
