Ford 17728102A Corner Radius End Mill 0.2812in 4 Flute","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 17728102A is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in demanding machining applications. It features a 0.2812-inch diameter, a 0.015-inch corner radius, and four flutes with a variable helix angle ranging from 35 to 38 degrees. The variable helix geometry reduces harmonic vibration during cutting, improving surface finish and tool life. An AlTiN (ALtima PVD) coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance, making this end mill well-suited for dry or semi-dry cutting at elevated temperatures. This tool is single-end, center-cutting, and right-hand cutting with a straight cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is engineered for both roughing and finishing operations on ferrous and exotic materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It fits into a standard toolholder accepting a 5\/16-inch shank diameter. The short flute length and 2.5-inch overall length make it appropriate for cavity work, slot milling, and profiling operations on CNC machining centers where rigidity and controlled deflection matter. It belongs to the M.A. FORD Series 177 product family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix (35 to 38 degrees) reduces chatter and vibration during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN PVD coating (ALtima) extends tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge entry into workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-flute spiral configuration supports both roughing and finishing in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting for standard CNC spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.015 inches reduces stress concentrations at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with standard toolholders accepting a 5\/16-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the controller is in a safe state before inserting or removing tooling. Confirm shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for set screws or collet nuts to prevent tool pullout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2812 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 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: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 to 38 degrees (variable)\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\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\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\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\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0030 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00120 to -0.00120 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 and Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 17728102A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744884162866,"sku":"17728102A","price":104.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a76fc9ebc8107f0f13607a50984378a2_60843fe1-3a6f-46d1-96fc-a9e05c0c4469.jpg?v=1788861907","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17728102a-corner-radius-end-mill-0-2812in-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
