It features a 0.25-inch cutting diameter, a 0.25-inch length of cut, and a 2-inch overall length with a 4-flute configuration. The ALtima coating improves wear resistance and heat dissipation during high-speed cutting. A variable helix angle of 35\/38 degrees reduces chatter and improves surface finish across a range of workpiece materials. The Weldon Flat shank provides positive retention in the tool holder. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working with milling machines in job shop, production, and aerospace environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations on a range of material types, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, carbon steels, and superalloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, P, and S. The stub length profile and 0.25-inch shank diameter make it appropriate for applications requiring rigidity in tight-clearance setups. The right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute geometry, and centercutting capability support slotting, profiling, and plunge operations. It is a single-end tool in the M.A. FORD Series 177W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide micrograin construction for durability and edge retention in tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima coating for enhanced wear resistance and thermal protection during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix (35\/38 degrees) and variable index design reduce vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry supports plunge milling in addition to peripheral cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeldon Flat shank provides secure, positive seating in compatible tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Weldon Flat-style tool holders accepting a 0.25-inch shank diameter.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Seat the Weldon Flat shank securely in the tool holder and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine builder guidelines for appropriate spindle speeds, feed rates, and depth-of-cut parameters for the specific workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 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\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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: 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: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat\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\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\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: +0.0000 \/ -0.00035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177W\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.058 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: 17725000AW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738691961138,"sku":"17725000AW","price":88.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e6e333674fb84484aaeabb0acb4f3aed_0139af38-e8a3-4a45-a1e4-1a9a97037ec6.jpg?v=1788802929","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17725000aw-square-end-mill-0-25in-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
