Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for close-tolerance work at small diameters. The cutting diameter is 0.0625 inches with a length of cut of 0.125 inches and an overall length of 1.5 inches. The 30-degree spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining a stable cut. With a right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction, it is centercutting, allowing plunge entry where needed. Two flutes keep this tool agile in fine-detail applications where chip load management is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and high-speed spindle setups where small-diameter tooling is required. The stub length format provides added rigidity, reducing deflection in applications where depth of cut is shallow and precision is the priority. Primary workpiece material codes indicate suitability across cast iron, nonferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, and heat-resistant superalloys. It is part of the Series 164 lineup and carries a straight-cylindrical shank of 0.125 inches for standard collet or end mill holder mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life at small diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle with spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub length format minimizes deflection in precision, shallow-depth applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute, standard orientation for CNC and manual mills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches ensures consistent fit and finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with standard 1\/8-inch collets and end mill holders.

Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe state before loading or changing tooling. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a properly sized collet or end mill holder, verifying runout before beginning a cut. At this diameter, excessive runout or improper clamping will result in tool breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0625 inches (1\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (1\/8 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 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, Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\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\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 16406250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748430971186,"sku":"16406250","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1df777926928fcb40e307e7620a9480c.jpg?v=1788893732","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16406250-square-end-mill-1-16-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
