With a cutting diameter of 0.015 inches and a length of cut of 0.03125 inches (1\/32 inch), this stub-length tool is suited for fine detail work where rigidity and minimal deflection are critical. The 1\/8-inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks, and the 1.5-inch overall length keeps the tool compact for high-precision setups. Two spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16401500 is designed for use on a broad range of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, titanium, high-temperature alloys, and carbon steel, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its centercutting geometry allows both plunge and peripheral milling operations. The uncoated solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for applications where coating buildup clearance is a concern or where re-sharpening is planned. Typical use cases include slot milling, contouring, and profiling in prototype, mold, and precision component work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.015 inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of plus or minus 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design enables direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle spiral flutes support chip evacuation in fine-feature cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC and manual mill spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub length category minimizes overhang and deflection in micro-milling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on workpiece materials classified under codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless and heat-resistant steel, titanium and superalloys, carbon and alloy steel, as stated in the manufacturer data.

Secure the shank fully in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder before operation, and verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting. At this diameter, even minor runout will significantly affect tool life and cut quality. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate at the specified diameter; consult published carbide end mill cutting data for the specific workpiece material before first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.0005 \/ minus 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03125 inches (1\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\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\u003eExtended Reach\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\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 16401500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753915515186,"sku":"16401500","price":58.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ea548063c46e5b64c52e746299d9c828.jpg?v=1788942025","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16401500-square-end-mill-0-015-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
