Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with TiAlN for heat and wear resistance, this tool handles demanding cutting applications across a range of workpiece materials. It features a 3\/16 inch cutting diameter, a 3\/8 inch length of cut, and a 4-flute configuration with a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix. The stub-length profile provides added rigidity, reducing deflection during aggressive cuts. It is center-cutting and suited for plunge and peripheral milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is part of M.A. FORD. Series 163 and is intended for use on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where tight tolerances are required. The TiAlN coating makes it particularly effective on harder materials, including hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, titanium, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys. The straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard collet chucks and end mill holders with a 3\/16 inch bore. It is a single-end tool sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide micrograin construction for edge strength and wear life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiAlN coating extends tool life in high-heat cutting environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute design increases feed rate capability compared to 2-flute alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand helix improves chip evacuation and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub length increases rigidity and reduces deflection in close-quarter setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/16 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder and torque the collet nut to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before commencing a cut, and confirm that cutting parameters match the workpiece material and machine capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting 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: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\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: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163\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: 16318750A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743228363058,"sku":"16318750A","price":52.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9b2f87f4ca290150c63e8f78a8eb64f5.jpg?v=1788844215","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16318750a-square-end-mill-3-16-in-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
