Built from micrograin carbide and finished with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, this stub-length tool delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of workpiece materials. It features a 0.25 inch cutting diameter, a 0.5 inch length of cut, a 30-degree helical flute geometry, and a 2-inch overall length. The straight cylindrical shank is 0.25 inches in diameter. With 2 right-hand helical flutes and a center-cutting design, this end mill handles plunge entry and side-milling in a single setup. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for machining cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, aluminum, heat-resistant superalloys, and similar materials classified under workpiece codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its stub length and 30-degree helix make it a reliable choice for short-reach profiling, slotting, and contouring passes on vertical machining centers and CNC mills in both job-shop and production environments. The TiN coating extends tool life on abrasive materials where uncoated carbide would wear prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium Nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand helical flutes promote chip evacuation and smooth cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub length profile minimizes deflection in short-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches for close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a Series 164 OEM-style solid carbide square end mill compatible with standard 1\/4 inch straight-shank tool holders used on CNC vertical machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the spindle before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the shank fully in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges and TiN coating for chips or wear before each use; do not run a damaged tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\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: Helical\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\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164\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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 16425000T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743195201842,"sku":"16425000T","price":63.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f28ec7f57361fb986630e9e7e9d67360_9ca9c2e5-c7e9-4aea-b0ac-c7b7316050df.jpg?v=1788843827","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16425000t-square-end-mill-0-25in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
