M.a. Ford 16414060 Square End Mill 9/64 Inch 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 16414060 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 9/64 inch (0.1406 inch) mill diameter, a 5/16 inch (0.3125 inch) length of cut, and a 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) straight-cylindrical shank. Overall length is 2 inches. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this two-flute tool delivers clean square-shoulder cuts in a stub-length profile. The right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute geometry and centercutting capability make it suitable for slotting, profiling, and plunge entry in a wide range of workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments are the primary users.

This end mill is suited for milling ferrous alloys, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and plastics, corresponding to primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The stub-length design provides rigidity in tight clearance setups where deflection must be minimized. The uncoated micrograin carbide substrate works well in both dry and flood-coolant environments on vertical machining centers, CNC knee mills, and manual mills. It is a single-end tool from M.A. FORD Series 164.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• Two-flute, right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole
• Stub-length profile increases rigidity and reduces deflection in close-tolerance work
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches ensures consistent fit and finish

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in M.A. FORD Series 164, compatible with standard 3/16 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended minimum engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after mounting to confirm the tool is properly seated before beginning a cut.
