Built from solid carbide with a 7-flute, super close pitch configuration and a 38-degree helix angle, it delivers smooth finishes and efficient chip evacuation at elevated feed rates. The 1\/2 inch mill diameter pairs with a 1\/8 inch corner radius that carries a tight tolerance of plus 0.00200 to minus 0.00200 inches. An ALtima Blaze PVD coating extends tool life when cutting steel, stainless steel, and superalloys including titanium. This tool is installed and run by machinists and CNC tooling professionals working in job shop and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 18050018B is suited for finishing passes in mold and die, aerospace, and precision machining applications where corner integrity and surface finish are critical. Its 1-1\/4 inch length of cut and 3 inch overall length fit standard toolholder setups for vertical and horizontal machining centers. The right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting geometry are standard for most CNC milling programs targeting steel, stainless steel, and superalloy workpieces. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with a wide range of collet and end mill toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-flute super close pitch geometry optimized for finishing in steel and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze PVD coating for extended tool life in abrasive and high-temp alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch corner radius with tight tolerance of plus or minus 0.00200 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end, straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard toolholders accepting a 1\/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank fully into the toolholder collet to the recommended engagement depth before tightening; inadequate engagement increases runout and reduces tool life. Verify spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before cutting. This tool is not centercutting and should not be used for direct plunge entry.\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches (0.4370 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\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\u003eCorner Radius Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.00200 to minus 0.00200 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.0000 to minus 0.0011 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.0000 to minus 0.0004 inches\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 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: 18050018B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727716450610,"sku":"18050018B","price":215.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/88b5fcf4534fccaf20cb270380d8bfc2_dadf1588-e2b9-416a-98a6-69d4e4c3f26e.jpg?v=1788681196","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-18050018b-corner-radius-end-mill-1-2in-7-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
