The cutter measures 0.5000 inches in diameter with a 1-inch length of cut and a 36-degree right-hand helical flute geometry across three flutes. The straight cylindrical shank is also 0.5 inches in diameter, and the overall tool length is 3 inches. Centercutting capability allows plunge entry as well as conventional peripheral and slot milling operations. Mill diameter tolerance is held to +0.000 to -0.0005 inches, which supports close-tolerance work in production and job-shop environments. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling specialists are the primary installers of this tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is sized and geometrized for machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials where chip evacuation and surface finish are priorities. The 36-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces heat buildup during high-speed passes. It is suited to vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills running appropriate spindle speeds and feed rates for non-ferrous stock. The Series 138 designation identifies its place within the M.A. FORD product family of general-purpose solid carbide end mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36-degree right-hand helix promotes chip evacuation in non-ferrous cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish compatible with cutting fluids and lubricants standard for non-ferrous machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.0005 inches supports close-tolerance slotting and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShank diameter tolerance to h6 standard for consistent toolholder fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 1\/2-inch straight-bore toolholders including ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and set-screw holders on CNC and manual milling machines.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or tool-change state before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder to the recommended gage-line depth and torque the retention mechanism to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use; solid carbide is brittle and should not be dropped or contacted with hard surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches (1\/2 inch)\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: 0.5000 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.55 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: 13850002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728688873778,"sku":"13850002","price":133.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f857fc6fa96f6209f77d67bdd9e438b4_5bffa40b-8b62-40ed-ad49-3d6da7e582b7.jpg?v=1788695037","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-13850002-square-end-mill-1-2-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
