Ford 18037512B Corner Radius End Mill 3\/8 in 7 Fl","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 18037512B is a solid carbide corner radius end mill engineered for finishing operations in demanding materials including steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The tool carries a 3\/8 inch mill diameter with a 0.015 inch corner radius, 7 flutes in a super close pitch configuration, and a 38-degree medium helix spiral flute geometry. It is coated with M.A. FORD ALtima Blaze, a PVD-applied coating designed to extend tool life in high-temperature cutting environments. The overall length is 2.5 inches with a 1 inch length of cut. This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers by professional machinists and toolroom operators working in metalworking, aerospace, and precision manufacturing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is suited for finishing passes in steel and stainless steel components, as well as superalloys and titanium alloys where edge integrity and tight tolerances are critical. With a right-hand cutting direction, right-hand flute spiral, and straight-cylindrical shank, it mounts directly into a standard toolholder without adapters. The non-centercutting, single-end design focuses performance on peripheral and side-wall finishing rather than plunge operations. The Series 180 designation identifies it within M.A. FORD corner radius end mill product line. Typical applications include contouring, profiling, and finish milling where the 0.015 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration and improves surface finish on machined edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze PVD coating for thermal and oxidation resistance in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-flute super close pitch geometry optimized for finishing with reduced chip load per tooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.015 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and improves part surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e38-degree medium helix promotes smooth chip evacuation during peripheral milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand spiral, single-end configuration for straightforward toolholder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard CNC toolholders accepting a 3\/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Confirm toolholder runout is within acceptable limits before engaging a finish cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on multi-flute tools. Do not use this end mill for plunge cutting, as it is a non-centercutting design. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material and depth of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (0.7500 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Super Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\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: ALtima Blaze (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Superalloys and Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\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\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\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0011 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00120 to -0.00120 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1308 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches L x 0.5 inches W x 0.5 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 18037512B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739449262386,"sku":"18037512B","price":146.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/88b5fcf4534fccaf20cb270380d8bfc2_66f0fdb4-4b02-48ba-8c88-6549ca3f05bf.jpg?v=1788814720","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-18037512b-corner-radius-end-mill-3-8-in-7-fl","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
