M.a. Ford. 17775005A Corner Radius End Mill 3/4in 4 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 17775005A is a solid carbide corner radius end mill engineered for high-performance material removal and finishing in demanding machining environments. Measuring 3/4 inches in diameter with a 0.045-inch corner radius, this single-end mill features four flutes and a variable helix design ranging from 35 to 38 degrees that reduces chatter and improves surface finish. The ALtima AlTiN PVD coating delivers elevated hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life when cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It is center-cutting and suitable for both roughing and finishing passes in a single setup.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and milling applications across aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking. The 3/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank seats directly into standard toolholders. With a 3/4-inch length of cut and 3-inch overall length, it is classified as a short-length tool, making it well-suited for rigid setups that demand accuracy in slotting, profiling, and pocket milling on ferrous and exotic alloy workpieces. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and exotic alloy cutting
• ALtima AlTiN PVD coating for high-temperature performance and extended tool life
• Variable helix (35 to 38 degrees) reduces harmonic vibration and improves finish quality
• 0.045-inch corner radius protects the cutting edge and reduces stress concentration at the workpiece corner
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting for standard CNC milling setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders accepting a 3/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Part of M.A. FORD. Series 177.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and torque set screws or collet nuts to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on solid carbide tooling.
