This single-end, center-cutting tool features a 0.375 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length. The 6-flute geometry paired with a 45-degree helical flute angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. An ALtima coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability during high-speed operations. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.375 inches in diameter. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuited for milling operations on workpiece materials including stainless steels, heat-resistant superalloys, carbon steels, and hardened steels, this end mill fits Series 157 tooling applications. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is the standard for most vertical and horizontal machining center setups. Its micrograin carbide construction supports higher cutting speeds and feeds compared to standard-grade carbide tooling. This tool is appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes where tight tolerances and surface finish quality are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for extended tool life in demanding materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima coating for improved heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-flute design with 45-degree helix angle for smooth chip flow and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capability allows plunge entry into workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand helical flute configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in M.A. FORD Series 157, suited for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 0.375 inch straight shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine spindle fully stopped and all motion axes locked out per facility lockout\/tagout procedures. Ensure the shank is fully seated in the collet or holder to the recommended grip length before torquing the retention hardware. Do not exceed tool manufacturer-rated speeds and feeds for the workpiece material being cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace the tool if damage is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\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\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\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\u003eVariable Index\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\u003eExtended Reach\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, M, P, S\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\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: 15737500A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739620737330,"sku":"15737500A","price":263.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/32b7cce7cfbdf0590977117fce83d81d.jpg?v=1788817030","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-15737500a-square-end-mill-6-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
