Built to Series 169 specifications, it features a 0.125 inch (1\/8 inch) mill diameter, a 0.25 inch length of cut, and a 1.5 inch overall length in a stub configuration. The three-flute, right-hand spiral design runs at a 30-degree helix angle, promoting efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The micrograin carbide substrate and bright uncoated finish make it well-suited for general-purpose milling where coating-related buildup is a concern. This tool is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and light plunge operations in a variety of material categories including hardened materials, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, steel, and high-temperature alloys — corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The straight-cylindrical shank at 0.125 inches diameter fits standard 1\/8 inch collets and tool holders. Its stub-length geometry provides added rigidity, making it a practical choice for tight-tolerance work where deflection control is critical. The centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpieces without pre-drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub-length configuration maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of plus 0.000 \/ minus 0.002 inches for consistent fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with standard 1\/8 inch collets and straight-bore tool holders used in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and similar equipment.

The tool should be secured in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torqued according to the machine tool manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the shank and collet bore for contamination or wear before seating the tool. Always confirm spindle direction matches the right-hand cut designation before initiating a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (1-1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 \/ minus 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.200 - 0.300 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 169\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 16912500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729412227378,"sku":"16912500","price":37.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2f0c1966c7ace22cbd200e979e1a6f30_889c653c-011e-4554-bb37-3118c09229ee.jpg?v=1788704317","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16912500-square-end-mill-0-125-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
