M.a. Ford. 16315750C Square End Mill 0.1575in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 16315750C is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in demanding machining environments. It features a 0.1575 inch cutting diameter, a 0.315 inch length of cut, and a 0.1575 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The four-flute, helical design runs a 30-degree helix angle with a TiCN coating for improved wear resistance and surface finish. This is a centercutting, right-hand cut tool with right-hand flute direction, classified as stub length. It is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on CNC mills and manual milling machines.

The 16315750C is suited for milling a broad range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, aluminum, and high-temperature alloys, as reflected by its primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its micrograin carbide substrate and stub-length profile make it a reliable choice for applications requiring rigidity and tight tolerances in shallow-to-medium depth slots, pockets, and profile passes.

Key Features

• 0.1575 inch cutting diameter with mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.048 mm for close-tolerance work
• TiCN coating improves hardness and lubricity, extending tool life across multiple material types
• 30-degree helical flute geometry promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate delivers edge sharpness and resistance to chipping
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece
• Stub-length classification provides maximum rigidity, minimizing deflection in tight setups

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 163 OEM-style solid carbide square end mill suitable for use in standard ER and straight-bore collet systems accepting a 0.1575 inch shank diameter. Compatible with CNC machining centers and manual mills configured for right-hand cutting tools.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully within the collet or chuck to the recommended grip length to prevent pullout under cutting loads. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts.
