It measures 5\/8 inches in diameter with a 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inch) corner radius and features 7 flutes in a right-hand spiral configuration with a medium, 38-degree helix angle. The tool carries an ALtima Blaze PVD coating, which is engineered for extended tool life when cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. It is a single-end, straight-cylindrical shank tool in the M.A. FORD. Series 180 short-length format. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, aerospace, and precision manufacturing environments are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for finishing cuts in ferrous and high-performance alloy workpiece materials, including steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Its super-close pitch, 7-flute geometry reduces chip load per tooth, making it well suited for light axial depths and tight surface finish requirements. The short overall length of 3-1\/2 inches and 1-1\/4 inch length of cut support rigid setups in vertical machining centers and similar CNC platforms. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard toolholders used in production machining environments.\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-material applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze PVD coating rated for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-flute, super-close pitch geometry optimized for finishing and fine surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch corner radius protects the cutting edge and reduces stress concentrations at corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e38-degree medium helix angle balances cutting forces in right-hand cutting direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort-length body (3-1\/2 inches OAL) promotes setup rigidity and minimizes deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard straight-bore toolholders accepting a 5\/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Before changing or seating the tool, ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out per shop lockout\/tagout procedures. Verify the toolholder bore and collet are clean and free of chips before seating the shank to maintain runout tolerances. Confirm feed rates, spindle speeds, and axial depths of cut match the manufacturer recommendations for the specific workpiece material and do not exceed finishing-pass parameters for a 7-flute geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (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\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches (0.1860 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches (3.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches (1.2500 inches)\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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: Super Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima Blaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\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\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\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 Index\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\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0030 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0020 to -0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: 18062518B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740868378930,"sku":"18062518B","price":400.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/88b5fcf4534fccaf20cb270380d8bfc2_b38b5f4b-c88c-45b5-906f-1dd1f0f8ec39.jpg?v=1788828001","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-18062518b-corner-radius-end-mill-5-8-in-7-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
