Built to Series 138 specifications, it features a 0.5 inch mill diameter, a 2.25 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length. The 3-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 36-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This is a centercutting tool, allowing plunge entry as well as conventional peripheral milling. It is sold individually and intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with CNC mills and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is well suited for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations in non-ferrous materials including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar alloys. The extra-long length of cut classification (2.0 inches and above) makes it appropriate for applications requiring deeper reach without tool changes. The straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance fits standard collet and end mill holder systems. It is intended for single-end use and carries no coating, making it a straightforward choice for applications where uncoated carbide performs reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute right-hand spiral design with 36-degree helix for effective chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra-long length of cut (2.25 inches) suits deeper cavity and slot applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for precise collet fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish optimized for non-ferrous and soft material applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool for standard 1\/2 inch collets and end mill holders used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills operating on non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Power down and lock out the spindle before mounting or removing any cutting tool. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth per the holder manufacturer's guidelines. Verify spindle speed and feed rate settings are appropriate for the workpiece material and tool diameter before initiating a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Long\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: 0.5 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: 13850006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730694373682,"sku":"13850006","price":247.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f857fc6fa96f6209f77d67bdd9e438b4_02f51517-2136-4e6d-b8e0-aca41b3709e2.jpg?v=1788721469","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-13850006-square-end-mill-1-2-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
