It features a 1\/4 inch diameter, a 0.015 inch corner radius, and a variable helix flute geometry that reduces chatter and improves surface finish across a range of cutting conditions. The AlTiN (ALtima) PVD coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting hard or abrasive workpiece materials. With four flutes and a centercutting design, this tool handles both roughing and finishing passes in a single setup. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments will find this end mill suited to tight-tolerance work on ferrous and exotic alloy components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with standard toolholders accepting a 1\/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank. It is rated for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The short flute length and 2 inch overall length make it well suited to applications requiring rigidity and reduced deflection, such as slotting, profiling, and contouring in harder materials where tool stability is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN (ALtima) PVD coating rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix flute geometry reduces vibration and chatter during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.015 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end, right-hand cut with right-hand flute spiral; suitable for both roughing and finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard toolholders accepting a 1\/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Verify toolholder runout and shank clamping torque according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications before cutting. Confirm speeds, feeds, and depth of cut are appropriate for the workpiece material and machine capability before initiating a cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear at regular intervals, as carbide tooling can fail abruptly when pushed beyond its rated parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0150 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0012 to -0.0012 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 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 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\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\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 (ALtima) PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\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\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 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: 17725002A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739837759794,"sku":"17725002A","price":79.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e6e333674fb84484aaeabb0acb4f3aed_f1c28932-e90b-4964-8d41-e508ba621cb1.jpg?v=1788819416","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17725002a-corner-radius-end-mill-1-4-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
