Ford 16323430 Square End Mill 15\/64 in 4 Flute Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 16323430 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a range of workpiece materials. Built to Series 163 specifications, it features a 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inch) cutting diameter with a tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.000\/-0.002 inches, ensuring consistent, accurate cuts. The 4-flute spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. Micrograin carbide construction delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding cutting environments. This stub-length end mill is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and cast materials, as indicated by its primary workpiece material codes covering material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S. The stub length-of-cut range of 0.5000 to 0.6000 inches makes it well-suited for shallow-pocket milling, slotting, and profiling applications where rigidity is a priority. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard 1\/4 inch collets and tool holders. Centercutting capability allows for direct plunge entry into workpieces without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for high hardness and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000\/-0.002 inches for precise fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC and manual mill setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with appropriate cutting fluids on a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with workpiece material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S as defined by the Series 163 application matrix.

Ensure the collet and tool holder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the target material to maximize tool life and surface finish quality. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications when tightening collet nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inch (0.2344 inches)\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 to 0.6000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 16323430\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743060263218,"sku":"16323430","price":61.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0473bd55de4a666639d3b3ee5de75fc8.jpg?v=1788842091","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16323430-square-end-mill-15-64-in-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
