M.a. Ford 13850005R.190 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 13850005R.190 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precise milling of non-ferrous metals. It features a 1/2 inch mill diameter, a 0.190 inch corner radius with a tight tolerance of plus or minus 0.0008 inches, and a 3-flute, right-hand spiral configuration. With a 2 inch length of cut and 4 inch overall length, this single-end, centercutting tool handles both roughing and finishing operations in a single setup. The bright/uncoated finish is well suited for non-ferrous applications where coating adhesion is not required. It belongs to M.A. FORD Series 138 and accepts standard straight-cylindrical toolholders with a 1/2 inch shank.

This end mill is intended for machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass. Its long-length configuration and medium helix make it appropriate for deeper cavities and pockets where standard-length tools cannot reach. The normal pitch and spiral flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation in softer, gummier materials. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this tool in CNC machining centers and manual mills fitted with compatible toolholders. The centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.

Key Features

• 0.190 inch corner radius with plus or minus 0.0008 inch tolerance for consistent edge geometry
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• Centercutting design allows plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flutes with medium helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Bright/uncoated finish optimized for non-ferrous metals
• Handles both roughing and finishing operations in a single tool

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-cylindrical toolholders. Primary workpiece material is non-ferrous metal. No specific compatible machine models were stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the toolholder. Verify runout and toolholder concentricity before beginning a cut to protect the corner radius geometry. Coolant-through is not supported on this tool; external coolant or mist lubrication is appropriate for non-ferrous applications.
