Ford 17812510A Square End Mill 0.125in 5 Flute Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 17812510A is a solid micrograin carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding materials. It features a 0.125-inch diameter cutting end with five flutes and a 38-degree spiral helix angle, producing smooth chip evacuation and reduced chatter. The cutting edges are finished with a TiAlN coating to extend tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. With a 0.375-inch length of cut and a 1.5-inch overall length, this end mill suits close-tolerance slotting, profiling, and finishing passes. Licensed machinists and CNC tool-and-die operators are the primary users for this style of end mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is built for use in modern CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where precision small-diameter cutting is required. The TiAlN coating and micrograin carbide substrate make it well-suited for hardened steels, stainless steels, titanium alloys, cast irons, and superalloys corresponding to ISO material groups H, K, M, P, and S. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling with a 0.125-inch bore. It is a single-end, right-hand cut tool with right-hand flute direction and no chipbreaker geometry, making it appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing operations in tight tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.125-inch diameter with 0.375-inch length of cut for small-bore slotting and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-flute geometry increases feed rates and improves surface finish compared to two- or three-flute designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiAlN coating provides heat and oxidation resistance for dry or minimal-lubricant cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate delivers rigidity and edge retention in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with right-hand spiral flute; center-cutting capable for plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.125-inch straight-cylindrical shank via collet chuck, end mill holder, or shrink-fit tooling.

Ensure the collet or tool holder bore is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify runout at the tool tip after clamping; excessive runout on small-diameter carbide end mills accelerates breakage. Follow the machine tool builder and cutting tool manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for the specific workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\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\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.0031 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Material Groups (ISO)\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 178\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.65 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 17812510A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754832625970,"sku":"17812510A","price":49.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/94a66028cc0a32227354af1db9807783_0ea19abf-590d-49f4-8ddd-31ab6140bc49.jpg?v=1788949008","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17812510a-square-end-mill-0-125in-5-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
