It features a 1\/4 inch diameter, a 0.03 inch corner radius, and four flutes with a variable helix angle ranging from 35 to 38 degrees. The variable helix reduces chatter and improves surface finish across a wide range of cuts. An AlTiN (ALtima PVD) coating provides thermal resistance and extends tool life when cutting hard and abrasive workpiece materials. This end mill suits both roughing and finishing operations and is installed by machinists in CNC milling centers and manual knee mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 17725004A is suited for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Its centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, expanding its usefulness in slot milling, profiling, and pocketing applications. The short flute length and straight cylindrical shank make it a practical choice for tight-tolerance work in production shops, tool rooms, and maintenance machining environments where rigidity and precision are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix (35 to 38 degrees) reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN (ALtima PVD) coating improves heat resistance and wear life on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design permits direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius geometry reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and improves corner durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting for standard CNC and manual mill spindle use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for roughing and finishing in a single tool across steel, stainless, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium\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.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, as excessive runout will accelerate edge wear on carbide tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 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: 1\/4 inch (1.6250 inches decimal)\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: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable, 35 to 38 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0030 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys, Titanium\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\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: 17725004A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736237572402,"sku":"17725004A","price":78.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e6e333674fb84484aaeabb0acb4f3aed_d6603b5e-0af0-47b1-9c4c-87d0b84ac75b.jpg?v=1788776679","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17725004a-corner-radius-end-mill-1-4-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
