Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers high rigidity and edge retention at small diameters. The mill measures 0.0938 inches (3\/32 inch) in cutting diameter with a 0.1875-inch (3\/16 inch) length of cut and a 1\/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Overall length is 1.5 inches. It features two right-hand spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle and is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry. This is a stub-length tool in the M.A. FORD. Series 164 line. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install and run this tool in production and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and plunge milling in a range of workpiece materials. The primary workpiece material codes listed for this tool include H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering material families such as hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, general steels, and high-temperature alloys. The stub-length geometry provides increased rigidity in tight-clearance setups and on small CNC mills and machining centers where deflection control at small diameters is critical. The uncoated micrograin carbide substrate is appropriate for dry or wet cutting depending on material and shop practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity at 0.0938-inch diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub-length geometry (1.5 inches OAL) minimizes deflection in tight setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical 1\/8-inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with CNC machining centers, mini mills, and manual mills equipped with 1\/8-inch collets or end mill holders.

The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or holder. Ensure the collet bore and shank are clean and free of chips before seating the tool. At this diameter, runout control is critical — use a quality collet or shrink-fit holder and verify runout with an indicator before cutting to avoid premature tool breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32 inch (0.0938 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164\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\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\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: 16409370\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732844806450,"sku":"16409370","price":34.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c8c86f0c4e7d302d1e4b83c0850af4cc.jpg?v=1788747459","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16409370-square-end-mill-3-32-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
