It carries a 0.2812-inch (9\/32 inch) mill diameter and a 0.0300-inch corner radius, producing a controlled edge break on finished cuts. The tool features 4 flutes with a variable helix geometry and an ALTiN (ALtima) PVD coating, making it suitable for high-speed cutting in ferrous and hard materials. With a 2.5-inch overall length and a 5\/16-inch straight cylindrical shank, this end mill is designed for installation in standard toolholders used in CNC machining centers and manual mills. Licensed machinists and tooling specialists are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for both roughing and finishing operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The short flute length of 0.25 inches and a 5\/16-inch length of cut support rigid setups with reduced overhang, which is critical when working in tough, work-hardening materials. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. It is a single-end tool in the M.A. FORD. Series 177 product line, intended for precision-toleranced machining environments where surface finish and edge integrity matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0300-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration and extends tool life at part edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALTiN (ALtima) PVD coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability in ferrous and hard alloy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix flute geometry reduces chatter and harmonics during cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting capable for direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTight shank tolerance of +0.0000\/-0.0003 inches ensures secure toolholder seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard toolholders.

Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the toolholder collet or chuck and torque to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the corner radius and cutting edges for chips or coating damage before each use, as edge damage in hard-material applications can accelerate tool failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2812 inches (9\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0300 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: 0.25 inches (5\/16 inch nominal)\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 (5\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3125 inches (5\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable, 35-38 degrees\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\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\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\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\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: +0.0000\/-0.0030 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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\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\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: 17728104A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743273484594,"sku":"17728104A","price":105.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/624c8ecf108dafe25876bc0b83459b7e.jpg?v=1788844869","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17728104a-corner-radius-end-mill-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
