With a 1\/8 inch cutting diameter and a 0.02 inch corner radius, it produces blended transitions between floor and wall surfaces while reducing stress concentrations at the corner. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral geometry handles both roughing and finishing operations in a single tool. An ALtima 52 PVD coating extends tool life in abrasive and hardened materials. This end mill is part of M.A. FORD Series 157 and is suited for precision mold, die, and aerospace component work where tight tolerances and surface finish matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is designed for use in CNC machining centers and high-speed milling applications targeting hard materials. The 3\/8 inch length of cut and 3 inch overall length provide adequate reach for common cavity and contour milling operations without excessive overhang. The straight cylindrical 1\/4 inch shank is compatible with standard end mill holders and collet chucks used in vertical and horizontal machining centers. Centercutting capability allows plunge entry, adding flexibility for ramping and helical interpolation strategies commonly used in die and mold work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima 52 PVD coating for extended tool life in abrasive and hardened workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.02 inch corner radius reduces corner chipping and improves surface finish at blend points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 flutes with right-hand high helix spiral geometry for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design supports plunge, ramp, and helical entry cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with straight cylindrical shank for standard toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with standard end mill toolholders and collet chucks accepting a 1\/4 inch straight cylindrical shank.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in a safe state before loading or changing tooling. Secure the shank to the full recommended gauge-line depth in the toolholder to minimize runout and prevent pullout under cutting loads. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating the first cut, especially when working in hardened materials where tool deflection directly affects dimensional accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\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: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima 52 (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: High (45 degrees)\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\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\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\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: 15712502A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743983239474,"sku":"15712502A","price":208.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1c72dd7d63b0e9522debe5b92dcba662.jpg?v=1788852366","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-15712502a-corner-radius-end-mill-1-8-in-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
