Built on the Series 157 platform, it features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter, a 1.25-inch length of cut, and a 6-flute helical geometry with a 45-degree helix angle. The ALtima coating extends tool life when cutting ferrous and high-temp alloys. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a close tolerance of +0.0001 to -0.0003 inches, ensuring secure tool holding. This end mill is center-cutting and designed for right-hand cut, right-hand flute operation. Machinists and toolroom professionals install it in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 15750000A is suited for milling operations on materials coded H, M, P, and S  -  covering hardened steels, stainless and high-alloy steels, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys. With a 4-inch overall length, it provides adequate reach for most standard pocketing, slotting, and peripheral milling applications without sacrificing rigidity. The 6-flute count supports higher feed rates and improved surface finish in finish-milling passes. This end mill is a single-end, non-chipbreaker, non-variable-helix design, making it straightforward to apply in standard toolpath strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide micrograin construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima coating for extended tool life on steels and superalloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 helical flutes for higher feed rates and improved surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank with tight diameter tolerance for secure tool holding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on workpiece material classes H, M, P, and S per M.A. FORD Series 157 classification, covering hardened steels, stainless and heat-resistant alloys, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or spindle is locked out before changing end mills. Seat the shank to the correct engagement depth in the toolholder per the holder manufacturer guidelines, and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Confirm feeds, speeds, and depth of cut are appropriate for the workpiece material and machine rigidity before engaging the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\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\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\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 to -0.0003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, M, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 15750000A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743227707698,"sku":"15750000A","price":387.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/32b7cce7cfbdf0590977117fce83d81d_68fc4815-75d0-4ea1-adac-f05fd80169be.jpg?v=1788844192","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-15750000a-square-end-mill-0-5in-6-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
