Ford. 16401960 Square End Mill 0.0196 in 2 Flute Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD. 16401960 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in tight-tolerance applications. With a 0.0196-inch (0.5 mm) cutting diameter and a 0.0393-inch (1 mm) length of cut, this tool is built for micro-scale work where accuracy and rigidity are critical. The micrograin carbide construction delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This end mill carries a bright, uncoated finish and is center-cutting capable, making it suitable for plunge entry as well as peripheral milling. It is installed and used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stub-length end mill is intended for use in micro-milling operations where minimal tool overhang and maximum rigidity are required. The 0.1181-inch (3.00 mm) straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collets used on CNC machining centers and precision manual mills. Workpiece material compatibility codes H, K, M, N, P, and S indicate suitability across a broad range of materials including hardened steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metals, non-metals, carbon and alloy steels, and heat-resistant superalloys. The overall length is 38 mm, keeping the tool compact for close-clearance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0196-inch (0.5 mm) cutting diameter for micro-milling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helical flute design promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable  -  supports plunge and ramp entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with right-hand flute direction; straight-cylindrical shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish; stub length for minimal overhang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a Series 164 micro end mill for use in standard collet systems accepting a 0.1181-inch (3.00 mm) straight-cylindrical shank.

Seat the shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut according to the machine and collet manufacturer specifications. At this cutting diameter, runout control is critical  -  verify tool runout with a dial indicator before cutting. Handle micro-diameter carbide tooling with care to avoid chipping the cutting edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0196 inches (0.5 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0393 inches (1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 mm\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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\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\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.025 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: 16401960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740591817010,"sku":"16401960","price":57.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f28ec7f57361fb986630e9e7e9d67360_b0fec154-8e83-400f-bdbc-dd6fba7a40c4.jpg?v=1788826060","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16401960-square-end-mill-0-0196-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
