M.a. Ford. 13875006 Square End Mill 3/4 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 13875006 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in metalworking and machining applications. With a 3/4 inch mill diameter, a 2-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 5 inch overall length, this single-end tool delivers consistent performance in demanding cutting environments. The 3-flute geometry with a 36-degree spiral helix angle balances chip evacuation and surface finish. The uncoated carbide construction makes it well suited for non-ferrous metal cutting where coating adhesion or heat buildup is not a primary concern. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation follow standard CNC and manual milling machine conventions. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this end mill.

This end mill is intended for use on non-ferrous metals as its primary workpiece material, including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar alloys. The centercutting design allows for direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole, expanding versatility in slotting, profiling, and pocket milling operations. The straight cylindrical shank with h6 shank diameter tolerance ensures a secure fit in standard collet chucks and end mill holders on both CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills. It is suitable for production and toolroom environments where dimensional accuracy and repeatable tool life are required.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch diameter with mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.003 inches for close-tolerance work
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance versus high-speed steel alternatives
• 36-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting forces on non-ferrous materials
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry point
• Uncoated finish is optimized for non-ferrous metals where bare carbide outperforms coated variants
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute — compatible with standard milling machine spindle rotation
• Straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for precise collet or end mill holder seating

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/4 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual vertical milling machines. Primary workpiece material is non-ferrous metal (material code N).

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling machine setup and cutting tool safety. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify that collet or holder bore matches the 3/4 inch shank diameter and that the tool is torqued to the holder manufacturer's specification. Follow all applicable shop safety protocols, including proper RPM selection for the workpiece material and tool diameter before initiating a cut.
