Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter with a 0.50-inch length of cut and a 2.0-inch overall length, this stub-length tool delivers rigidity in tight-clearance setups. The two-flute, spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Micrograin carbide construction provides wear resistance and edge retention across demanding applications. The uncoated finish makes it suitable for use with cutting fluids in materials where coating adhesion or heat buildup is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations on a broad range of workpiece materials including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, structural steels, and superalloys, corresponding to material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and end mill holders. Its centercutting capability allows plunge entry, making it practical for slot milling, pocket entry, and profiling operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for edge retention and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub length profile increases tool rigidity and reduces deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish compatible with flood coolant and cutting oil applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 0.25-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the collet or holder to the tool holder manufacturer specification before operating. Inspect cutting edges for chipping before each use, as carbide tooling can fracture if used with excessive runout or improper speeds and feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\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: 0.50 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\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\u003eCompatible Workpiece Material Groups\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: 16425000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748527178034,"sku":"16425000","price":56.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e065736318bb8b2e179bdeb5dfa6c381.jpg?v=1788894826","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16425000-square-end-mill-1-4-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
