It carries a 3\/8 inch cutting diameter, a 3\/8 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length. The ALtima finish coating and variable helix geometry reduce chatter and improve chip evacuation during demanding cuts. Built from micrograin carbide stock, this tool is center-cutting and suitable for plunge entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 3\/8 inch in diameter, making it compatible with standard collet and end mill holders. It is a right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is well suited for milling hard-to-machine materials including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, carbon steels, and high-temp alloys  -  corresponding to workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S. The regular-length geometry and helical flute design make it a practical choice for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. It ships as a single unit and is intended for use by machinists, toolroom technicians, and production floor operators working in job shop or production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix angle (35\/38 degrees) reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable index geometry improves surface finish and tool life on difficult materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima finish coating provides wear resistance and thermal protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelical flute profile promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and production end mill for use in standard 3\/8 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC and manual milling machines.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder and torque the retention mechanism per the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as damaged carbide can fracture unpredictably under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 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: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\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: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 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 Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35\/38 degrees (Variable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\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\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00000 \/ -0.00035 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 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: 17737500A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740043411762,"sku":"17737500A","price":110.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e6e333674fb84484aaeabb0acb4f3aed_7c3c0c86-01d2-4c2e-be8e-846ffd34646a.jpg?v=1788821784","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17737500a-square-end-mill-3-8-inch-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
