Built to Series 180 specifications, it features a 1\/2-inch diameter, 7-flute super-close pitch design with a 38-degree helix angle and a 1\/8-inch corner radius. The ALtima Blaze PVD coating provides elevated heat and wear resistance, making this tool well-suited for cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. It is a single-end, stub-length tool with a straight-cylindrical shank and right-hand cutting direction. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this end mill when surface finish quality and corner integrity are the primary objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for finishing operations on workpieces made from steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The stub-length geometry and 5\/8-inch length of cut keep deflection low during tight-tolerance finishing passes. The 7-flute, super-close pitch configuration increases the number of cutting edges in contact with the workpiece, which improves surface finish and allows for higher feed rates at appropriate chip loads. It is designed for use with a standard toolholder in CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch corner radius for controlled blending and reduced stress concentration at part corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-flute super-close pitch for improved surface finish and increased feed capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze PVD coating for extended tool life in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and chip evacuation during finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub-length design minimizes overhang and deflection in finish-cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard cylindrical toolholders.

Verify toolholder runout and clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before cutting. Do not use this end mill for center-cutting applications, as it is not center-cutting capable. Confirm chip load and speed-and-feed parameters against the workpiece material and machine capability before commencing the operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Super 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\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, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\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\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00200 to -0.00200 inches\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.035 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 18050008B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748972953906,"sku":"18050008B","price":214.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/88b5fcf4534fccaf20cb270380d8bfc2_db07213a-6eb6-4dc3-bb40-aa2e9cd9076b.jpg?v=1788900742","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-18050008b-corner-radius-end-mill-1-2-in-7-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
