M.a. Ford 158M06N20-1.0RA Corner Radius End Mill Head

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 158M06N20-1.0RA is a solid carbide corner radius end mill head engineered for precision milling applications. With a 6 mm mill diameter and 4 helical flutes, this head delivers clean, efficient material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The variable helix design, ranging from 35 to 38 degrees, reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during cutting. A variable index flute spacing further improves surface finish and tool stability. Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting orientation are standard. This head is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals working on CNC machining centers.

This end mill head suits precision contouring, profiling, and finishing operations where a corner radius end type is required to reduce stress concentrations at workpiece edges. The 9 mm length of cut and 75 mm overall length position it for moderate-depth passes in a variety of materials. It is a replacement-style head designed for compatible modular end mill systems, making it a practical choice for shops that standardize on replaceable head tooling platforms.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• Variable helix angle from 35 to 38 degrees reduces chatter and vibration
• Variable index flute spacing improves surface finish consistency
• Corner radius end type reduces edge stress and extends workpiece life
• Right-hand cut with helical flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• 4-flute design balances material removal rate with chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a modular replacement end mill head for compatible M.A. FORD modular tooling systems accepting a 6 mm diameter head with the 158M series interface. Verify interface compatibility with your existing arbor or shank before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing any end mill head. Use the appropriate torque wrench and head-locking tool specified for the modular system to avoid cross-threading or under-torquing the head interface. Follow the tooling manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards for secure tool assembly.
