Built to Series 180 specifications, this single-end tool features a 3\/8-inch diameter with a 0.03-inch corner radius and 7 flutes ground to a super close pitch. The ALtima Blaze PVD coating delivers elevated heat and wear resistance at the cutting edge. With a 1-inch length of cut and 2.5-inch overall length, it is sized for rigidity in tight-tolerance finishing passes. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling specialists install and deploy this tool in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is designed for finishing cuts in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium — material groups P, M, and S. The right-hand cutting direction and right-hand spiral flute geometry suit standard CNC machining center spindles. The straight cylindrical 3\/8-inch shank interfaces directly with collet-style and hydraulic toolholders. The super close pitch and 7-flute configuration reduce chip load per tooth, supporting higher feed rates on tough, work-hardening alloys. Typical applications include profiling, side milling, and contouring where a controlled corner radius is required to reduce stress concentration in finished components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in difficult-to-machine alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze PVD coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance and reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-flute super close pitch design lowers chip load per tooth for smooth finishing surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.03-inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and improves part surface integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute geometry compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-centercutting, single-end configuration suited to peripheral and side milling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with collet-style and hydraulic toolholders accepting a 3\/8-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the toolholder. Verify shank engagement depth meets toolholder manufacturer minimums and confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run. Do not use this tool for plunge cutting, as this is a non-centercutting design.\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: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (0.1969 inches decimal reach)\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: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees, medium helix style\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\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Super Close\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\u003eEnd Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\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\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima Blaze, PVD classification\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\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0011 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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\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: 0.13 pounds\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: 18037514B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747222061362,"sku":"18037514B","price":146.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/88b5fcf4534fccaf20cb270380d8bfc2_e5d89122-8549-417c-adcc-f36afe1377e5.jpg?v=1788877658","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-18037514b-corner-radius-end-mill-3-8-in-7-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
