M.a. Ford. 17875000A Square End Mill 0.75 in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 17875000A is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding production environments. With a 0.75 inch mill diameter, 5 helical flutes, and a 38-degree helix angle, this end mill delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across a range of workpiece materials. The ALtima coating provides thermal and wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. It is a single-end, right-hand cut tool with a straight-cylindrical shank and is manufactured from micrograin carbide for edge stability and precision.

This end mill is suited for milling operations in shops running CNC machining centers handling materials classified under workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S. These codes cover hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature superalloys. With a 1 inch length of cut and 3 inch overall length, it fits standard toolholders requiring a 0.75 inch shank. It is appropriate for face milling, slotting, contouring, and pocketing operations in both job shop and production settings.

Key Features

• 5-flute helical design with 38-degree helix angle for improved chip flow and surface finish
• ALtima coating for enhanced heat and wear resistance
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration for standard CNC spindle use
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece materials in M.A. FORD. Series 178. Rated for material codes H, K, M, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys. Fits toolholders accepting a 0.75 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout after installation before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the tool's rated length of cut of 1 inch during axial engagement.
