Built to Series 164 specifications, it features a 9\/32 inch (0.2813 inch) cutting diameter, a 1\/2 inch length of cut, and a 5\/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The micrograin carbide construction delivers rigidity and edge retention at elevated cutting speeds. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into workpiece material. This stub-length profile minimizes deflection in short-reach setups. Installed by machinists and toolroom operators in CNC mills and manual knee mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations on a range of materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless and heat-resistant alloys, and steel. The material code ratings cover workpiece categories H, K, M, N, P, and S, making it a versatile choice for mixed-material shops. Its uncoated finish makes it a practical option for applications where coolant is used to manage heat, or where tool re-sharpening is part of the shop workflow. Stub length makes it well-suited for setups requiring close proximity to a vise or fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub length (2 inch OAL) minimizes deflection in short-reach setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated — compatible with coolant and suitable for resharpening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard straight-shank tool holders and collet chucks accepting a 5\/16 inch shank diameter.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Torque the collet nut or set screw to the tool holder specification — do not rely on hand-tight. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, especially in tight-tolerance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/32 inch (0.2813 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: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 - 0.6000 inches\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: 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inch)\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 (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\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\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\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\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\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: 16428120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727321858354,"sku":"16428120","price":72.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/62878e4eb269d3ee39ca652eef174aba.jpg?v=1788676290","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16428120-square-end-mill-9-32-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
