Built from micrograin carbide, this 3-flute tool measures 0.1875 inches in diameter with a 0.375-inch length of cut and a 2-inch overall length. The 30-degree right-hand spiral helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The bright, uncoated finish suits a wide range of workpiece materials. Machinists and tool and die professionals install this end mill in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where tight tolerances and controlled material removal are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stub-length end mill is suited for milling operations on materials covering a broad hardness and composition range, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, heat-resistant alloys, and general steels, as indicated by the primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The straight cylindrical shank allows direct mounting in standard collet chucks and end mill holders. Its compact stub geometry provides added rigidity in tight-clearance setups and shallow-cavity work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 flutes with a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix for efficient chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches for close-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub length type adds rigidity and reduces deflection in shallow milling passes\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 0.1875-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and at rest before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify collet or holder bore size matches the 0.1875-inch shank diameter before tightening. Inspect the tool edge for chipping or wear before each use and replace if damage is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 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: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 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\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\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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/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: 169\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\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: 16918750\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749860933938,"sku":"16918750","price":47.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2f0c1966c7ace22cbd200e979e1a6f30_f188a09b-1ac9-49e2-9afd-bebd5c0e6e86.jpg?v=1788911361","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-16918750-square-end-mill-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
