With a 3\/64 inch (0.0500 inch) mill diameter and a 1\/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank, this stub-length tool offers rigidity and accuracy in tight-tolerance cuts. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation. Center-cutting capability allows for direct plunging into workpiece material. The uncoated carbide construction suits applications where coating buildup is a concern or where regrinding is anticipated. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install and operate this end mill on CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations on a broad spectrum of materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys, consistent with its primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The stub length overall length of 1.5 inches and 0.1 inch length of cut make it well-matched for shallow slotting, profiling, and contouring passes where tool overhang must be minimized. It is appropriate for both production and prototype machining environments requiring small-diameter precision tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/64 inch (0.0500 inch) mill diameter with tight tolerance of plus 0.0005 \/ minus 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute, right-hand spiral flute design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub length body (1.5 inches OAL) reduces deflection in small-diameter applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for regrinding or applications where coating is not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries 164 single-end configuration with straight-cylindrical shank\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 accepting a 1\/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank fully in a compatible collet or end mill holder rated for 1\/8 inch shanks, and verify runout before engaging the cut. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting tooling. Use appropriate cutting speeds and feed rates for the workpiece material and tool diameter, as small-diameter carbide tools are sensitive to excessive radial load and vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/64 inch (0.0500 inch)\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\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: 0.1000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1000 to 0.2000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\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\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\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\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\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\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: 16405000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738286424370,"sku":"16405000","price":47.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/00ab43727e273ff07357772ecb5d2f0a.jpg?v=1788797720","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16405000-square-end-mill-3-64-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
