It features a 6 mm cutting diameter with a 0.25 mm corner radius, four flutes, and a variable helix geometry that reduces chatter and improves surface finish. The 13 mm length of cut and short-length classification make it well suited for rigidity-critical applications. An ALTiN (ALtima) PVD coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life when cutting abrasive and hard materials. This end mill is centercutting, right-hand cutting, and designed for use in standard straight-cylindrical toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 17723608A is designed for roughing and finishing operations across a range of difficult workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Its short-length, variable-helix design is particularly effective in CNC machining centers where tool rigidity and surface finish are equally important. The 6 mm shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, allowing direct mounting in collet chucks and shrink-fit holders sized for 6 mm shanks. It is a single-end tool in the M.A. FORD. Series 177 lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25 mm corner radius reduces stress concentration and chipping at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix flute geometry minimizes vibration during both roughing and finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALTiN PVD coating (ALtima) extends tool life in high-heat, abrasive cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides superior rigidity over cobalt or high-speed steel alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand flute direction and right-hand cut for standard CNC spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard straight-cylindrical toolholders accepting a 6 mm shank.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder to the specified gauge line and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 mm (0.2362 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 mm (0.0100 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: 13 mm (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 57 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable (35 to 38 degrees)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALTiN PVD (ALtima)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.048 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.008 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Normal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 17723608A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739996979506,"sku":"17723608A","price":79.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9c4920965f629b0e3df446032f292942_d415d337-9fa0-4c64-8335-bbf583e4b9f9.jpg?v=1788821284","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17723608a-corner-radius-end-mill-6-mm-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
