With a 5\/16 inch cutting diameter and a 0.03 inch corner radius, this tool produces controlled edge breaks and smooth transitions on finished workpiece surfaces. It runs five flutes in a right-hand spiral configuration with a medium, 38-degree helix angle, balancing chip evacuation with tool rigidity. The AlTiN PVD coating (ALtima) provides elevated heat and wear resistance. This is a single-end, centercutting design capable of both roughing and finishing passes in a single setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium  -  workpiece material codes P, M, K, and S. The regular-length geometry and straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard toolholders used in vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers. It fits production and job-shop applications where consistent corner geometry and surface finish are required across medium to hard materials. The close pitch and five-flute count support stable chip load at higher feed rates without sacrificing edge strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.03 inch corner radius for controlled edge geometry and smooth surface transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN PVD coating (ALtima) for extended tool life in high-heat cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFive-flute, right-hand spiral design with 38-degree medium helix for balanced chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting capability allows plunge entry and slot milling without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for both roughing and finishing material removal in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard straight-cylindrical toolholders.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before tool changes. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Consult the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool documentation for appropriate speeds, feeds, and depth-of-cut parameters for the target workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches (0.234 inches decimal)\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: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees (Medium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\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\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Close\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN PVD (ALtima)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\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\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0030 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\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: 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: 17831204A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740332327218,"sku":"17831204A","price":99.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/94a66028cc0a32227354af1db9807783_c2ca014b-2fff-459b-b62f-ba7b0d3b57fe.jpg?v=1788824380","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17831204a-corner-radius-end-mill-5-16-in-5-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
