Ford 17712510A Square End Mill 0.125in 4 Flute Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 17712510A is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a broad range of workpiece materials. With a 0.125 inch mill diameter, 0.375 inch length of cut, and 1.5 inch overall length, this single-end tool delivers tight tolerances with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000\/-0.002 inches. The micrograin carbide construction paired with a TiAlN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. Four spiral flutes with a variable helix and variable index geometry reduce chatter and improve chip evacuation. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.125 inches in diameter for secure tool holding in standard collet systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter finish and profile milling are required. Primary workpiece material codes include H, K, M, P, and S, covering cast irons, non-ferrous metals, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature alloys. It belongs to M.A. FORD Series 177, a line built for applications demanding consistent performance in tight-tolerance work. Machinists and tool room professionals running production or prototype work will find this tool well-matched to both roughing and finishing passes at small diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiAlN coating extends tool life in high-heat cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix and variable index geometry reduce vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable — allows direct plunge entry into workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with right-hand spiral flute direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank with tight tolerance: +0\/-0.00031 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-specification replacement or direct tooling option within M.A. FORD Series 177, compatible with standard 1\/8 inch collets and tool holders used in CNC and manual milling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, as runout at small diameters significantly affects tool life and surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000\/-0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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: 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\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0\/-0.00031 inches\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: TiAlN\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\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\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\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\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: 17712510A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754694607154,"sku":"17712510A","price":51.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b1a4210a1d97af12029ff737f14477a6.jpg?v=1788947903","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17712510a-square-end-mill-0-125in-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
