Ford. 17750004A Corner Radius End Mill 1\/2 in 4 Flute","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD. 17750004A is a single-end, centercutting corner radius end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding metalworking applications. Built from solid carbide with an ALtima PVD coating, it measures 0.5000 inches in diameter with a 0.0300-inch corner radius and a 0.5000-inch length of cut. The variable helix design, with flute angles at 35 and 38 degrees, reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish across both roughing and finishing operations. With a 2.5-inch overall length and a 0.5000-inch straight-cylindrical shank, it fits standard toolholders used in CNC machining centers and manual mills alike. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is engineered for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It is suited for both roughing and finishing passes in short-reach applications where rigidity is critical. The Series 177 designation identifies it within M.A. FORD.'s corner radius product family, optimized for right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction. It is intended for use in toolholders and does not support coolant-through delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima PVD coating improves heat resistance and tool life in steel, stainless steel, and superalloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix flutes at 35 and 38 degrees reduce chatter and improve chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0300-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge milling as well as peripheral and slot cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort flute length of 0.5000 inches maximizes rigidity in tight-tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with standard straight-cylindrical toolholders.
