Built from micrograin carbide stock, it carries an ALtima coating and a 45-degree helix angle that improves chip evacuation and surface finish at elevated feed rates. The mill diameter is 0.25 inches with a 0.625-inch length of cut and a 3.5-inch overall length. It is centercutting, runs right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction, and is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC milling centers and manual mills alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is rated for use across a broad range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, stainless and tool steels, high-temperature alloys, and titanium, corresponding to ISO material codes H, M, P, and S. The straight cylindrical shank and standard 0.25-inch shank diameter make it compatible with common collet and end mill holder systems used in production and job-shop environments. It is sold individually and is well suited for finish milling, slotting, and profiling passes where tool rigidity and edge life are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-flute geometry increases feed-rate potential and improves surface finish compared to 4-flute equivalents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima coating provides enhanced heat and wear resistance for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and edge integrity in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC spindle configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for ISO workpiece material codes H, M, P, and S, covering hardened steels, stainless steels, general steels, and high-temperature or titanium alloys.

Ensure the collet or tool holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank to the correct engagement depth. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tightening to avoid premature edge chipping. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine builder recommendations for starting speeds and feeds before optimizing for the specific workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\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 (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0008 to -0.0019 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0001\/-0.0003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 15725000A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740139290930,"sku":"15725000A","price":177.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/32b7cce7cfbdf0590977117fce83d81d_cc1183a1-d4d6-41a1-850e-3a5ca6b1c8c4.jpg?v=1788822788","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-15725000a-square-end-mill-0-25in-6-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
