It carries a 3\/8-inch cutting diameter, a 0.03-inch corner radius, and five flutes ground with a right-hand spiral and close pitch for efficient chip evacuation. The AlTiN (ALtima) PVD coating provides thermal resistance and hardness retention at elevated cutting temperatures. At 4 inches overall length with a 1-inch length of cut and extended reach, this tool suits deep-pocket and long-reach milling setups. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this end mill in standard straight-shank toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill fits vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments. The 178N Series long-length geometry makes it well suited for mold and die work, aerospace component machining, and general-purpose profiling in ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials. The centercutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The 2.125-inch reach length supports access to deep features while the 0.36-inch neck diameter provides clearance past workpiece walls. This tool handles both roughing and finishing passes, reducing tool changes in multi-operation programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN (ALtima) PVD coating for high-temperature cutting performance in steel, stainless, cast iron, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFive-flute close-pitch design improves feed rate capability and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.03-inch corner radius reduces corner chipping and extends edge life under continuous cutting loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended reach with 2.125-inch reach length and 0.36-inch neck diameter for deep-pocket access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end, right-hand cut, right-hand flute spiral  -  compatible with standard right-hand toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with straight-shank cylindrical toolholders accepting a 3\/8-inch shank.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the toolholder. Verify toolholder runout is within acceptable tolerance before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide tooling. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for the specific 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: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 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: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN \/ ALtima (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium (38 degrees)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Close\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\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\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\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\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\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\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Superalloys, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 178N\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: 17837524NA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739620540722,"sku":"17837524NA","price":200.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5782dc861f852580047f18c48d6abb50_4226f753-440b-4d8a-843e-4b6fb8576c7d.jpg?v=1788817027","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-17837524na-corner-radius-end-mill-3-8-in-5-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
