It features a 5\/8-inch cutting diameter, a 0.015-inch corner radius, and five flutes with a medium 38-degree helix angle. The ALTiN (ALtima) PVD coating provides thermal resistance and edge hardness, making this tool effective in both roughing and finishing operations. At 3 inches overall length with a 3\/4-inch length of cut, this is a single-end, centercutting tool with a straight-cylindrical shank. It is installed in standard toolholders by machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Its close-pitch flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction make it a capable choice for milling slots, pockets, and profiles where a controlled corner radius is required to reduce stress concentration and improve part surface quality. The Series 178 designation places it within M.A. FORD.'s general-purpose solid carbide end mill family, intended for use in conventional and high-speed machining centers with compatible toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.015-inch corner radius reduces stress risers and improves surface finish at part edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima ALTiN PVD coating provides elevated heat and wear resistance for ferrous and exotic materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFive-flute close-pitch geometry supports both roughing and finishing in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e38-degree medium helix angle balances chip evacuation and cutting force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard toolholders without special adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard toolholders on CNC machining centers.
