With a 0.04-inch cutting diameter and a 2-flute spiral configuration, this stub-length tool delivers clean, accurate cuts in a compact form factor. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry, combined with a 30-degree helix angle, promote efficient chip evacuation and stable tool engagement. It is centercutting, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in job shop, production, or toolroom environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations on a wide range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, aluminum and non-ferrous alloys, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature superalloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The stub length and small diameter make it particularly appropriate for fine-detail slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations where rigidity and minimal deflection are critical. It fits standard 1\/8-inch collet or end mill holder setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.04-inch cutting diameter with 5\/64-inch length of cut for fine-detail work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical 1\/8-inch shank fits common collet and tool holder systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish; Series 164 stub-length classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with 1\/8-inch collets or end mill holders.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or holder to the recommended gauge line depth to minimize runout and prevent tool pullout during operation. Verify spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before initiating a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 inches (5\/64 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 (1-1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\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\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0005 \/ -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\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: 16404000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747557802290,"sku":"16404000","price":45.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cd763861d01a8c335638771125671f0f.jpg?v=1788882545","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16404000-square-end-mill-0-04-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
