M.a. Ford. 16375000A Square End Mill 3/4 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 16375000A is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for high-performance metal removal in professional machining applications. Built to Series 163 specifications, it features a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length. The micrograin carbide substrate delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding materials, while the TiAlN coating adds thermal resistance during high-speed cuts. With 4 spiral flutes and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool produces efficient chip evacuation and consistent surface finish. It is center-cutting, allowing direct plunging into the workpiece without pre-drilling.

This end mill is suited for milling operations on a wide range of workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, titanium alloys, and general steels, as indicated by material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The stub length profile and straight cylindrical shank make it a practical choice for rigid setups in CNC machining centers and manual mills where tool deflection must be minimized. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and toolroom professionals in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch cutting diameter with a tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.003 inches
• 4 spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• TiAlN finish provides thermal resistance for dry or high-speed cutting conditions
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for superior hardness and edge retention
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation; straight cylindrical shank for standard collet or end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 163 OEM-style solid carbide square end mill compatible with standard 3/4 inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and milling arbors accepting a straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for workpiece materials corresponding to ISO material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before loading or changing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the holder and verify runout with a dial indicator before committing to a cut. Consult the applicable cutting data for the workpiece material and machine horsepower before setting feeds and speeds.
