With a 0.03 inch cutting diameter and a 0.09 inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail work and tight-tolerance applications. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. A nose radius of 0.015 inches allows for accurate contoured surface work. The uncoated solid carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to a wide range of workpiece materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this end mill in CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring micro-scale cutting capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations on materials classified under primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, structural steels, and heat-resistant superalloys. The 1\/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders used in both benchtop and production CNC equipment. The 1.5 inch overall length keeps the tool compact for use in confined setups or multi-axis machining paths where reach must be controlled. This is a single-end tool in the M.A. FORD Series 150 line, intended for regular-length applications where rigidity and accuracy are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.03 inch cutting diameter with 0.015 inch nose radius for contoured and profiled surface milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for hardness, rigidity, and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece material types\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries 150 regular-length single-end configuration for stable, precise cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with standard 1\/8 inch collet tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the 1\/8 inch shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, especially given the 0.03 inch diameter and tight mill diameter tolerance of plus 0.0005 to minus 0.0005 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0005 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut (LOC)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\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\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: 15003000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755740037426,"sku":"15003000","price":78.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/eed18656c0bc7fe67360c73de68d4416.jpg?v=1788958960","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-15003000-ball-end-mill-0-03-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
