The tool features an 8 mm cutting diameter with a 1.5 mm corner radius, a 19 mm length of cut, and a 63 mm overall length. Four flutes with a variable helix geometry and ALTiN (ALtima) PVD coating deliver efficient chip evacuation and heat resistance across a wide range of material hardnesses. Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. This end mill is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals running CNC machining centers and manual mills where edge geometry and coating quality directly affect tool life and surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for roughing and finishing operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The short flute length and straight-cylindrical shank are well matched to close-tolerance work in production and job-shop environments. The 8 mm shank diameter fits standard collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and hydraulic toolholders commonly used on vertical and horizontal machining centers. Single-end design means the tool is replaced rather than indexed when worn, making it straightforward to manage in high-volume setups.\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\u003e1.5 mm corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix flute geometry reduces harmonic chatter during aggressive cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima PVD coating (ALTiN-class) provides thermal protection and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design supports direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for standard CNC spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and hydraulic toolholders.

Verify toolholder runout before securing the shank to maintain diameter tolerance of +0.000\/-0.058 mm at the cutting diameter. Follow machine tool manufacturer torque specifications when tightening collet nuts or set screws  -  do not over-tighten, as this can damage the shank. Confirm cutting parameters (speed, feed, depth of cut) against the tool manufacturer recommendations for the specific workpiece material before starting a new program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm (0.3150 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 mm (0.0590 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 mm (1.0000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 63 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable (35 to 38 degrees)\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\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\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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: ALtima (ALTiN-class PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.058 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.008 mm\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\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: 17731504A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743829950770,"sku":"17731504A","price":96.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/04589847e2dc9597ba997d02aba4e558.jpg?v=1788850139","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17731504a-corner-radius-end-mill-8mm-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
