With a 0.1875 inch (3\/16 inch) cutting diameter and four helical flutes running at a variable 35\/38 degree helix angle, this end mill delivers stable cutting performance and efficient chip evacuation. The ALtima coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal protection. It is centercutting, allowing plunge entry, and features a variable index geometry that reduces harmonic vibration during milling operations. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments install this type of end mill for profiling, slotting, and finishing passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling a range of workpiece materials identified by material codes H, K, M, P, and S, which correspond to hardened steels, cast irons, stainless and heat-resistant alloys, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys. Its micrograin carbide substrate and ALtima coating make it a solid choice for applications that generate high cutting temperatures or require tight dimensional tolerances. The straight-cylindrical shank seats directly into standard collets or end mill holders commonly found on vertical machining centers and CNC milling machines.\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\u003eALtima coating for improved wear resistance and heat management\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable 35\/38 degree helix angle reduces chatter and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing further dampens harmonic resonance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design enables direct plunge milling capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute with helical flute geometry for efficient chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/16 inch collets or end mill holders on CNC vertical machining centers and manual milling machines.

Before changing tooling, confirm the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state per your facility lockout\/tagout procedure. Seat the straight-cylindrical shank fully into the collet or holder and tighten to the tool holder manufacturer torque specification. Inspect the cutting edges and coating before use and discard the tool if chipping or excessive wear 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 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: 0.4375 inches (7\/16 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: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inches)\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 Grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35\/38 degrees (Variable)\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\u003eCentercutting\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\u003eExtended Reach\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\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.002 inches\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\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: 1 pound\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: 17718710A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731063505202,"sku":"17718710A","price":66.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0730cdeff39ba24408b7dac4f522bdfd.jpg?v=1788726460","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17718710a-square-end-mill-0-1875-in-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
