M.a. Ford 18075006B Corner Radius End Mill 3/4in 7 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 18075006B is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for demanding material removal and finishing operations on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. It features a 3/4 inch mill diameter, a 0.06 inch corner radius, and seven flutes arranged in a right-hand spiral with a medium helix angle. The super-close pitch and ALtima Blaze PVD coating make this tool well suited for high-performance finishing cuts in difficult-to-machine materials. It is a single-end tool with a straight cylindrical shank and is intended for use in standard toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators working in aerospace, medical, and precision manufacturing environments are the primary users of this series.

This end mill is built for finishing applications where tight tolerances and surface finish quality are priorities. With a 1 inch length of cut, 4 inch overall length, and a stub length designation, it is configured for rigidity in close-clearance setups. The Series 180 design targets steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces, making it a common selection in aerospace component machining, mold and die work, and precision part production where tool deflection and chatter must be minimized.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• ALtima Blaze PVD coating enhances heat resistance and tool life in superalloys and titanium
• Seven-flute super-close pitch geometry optimized for finishing passes
• 0.06 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at cutting edges
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard toolholders without adapters

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders. Primary workpiece materials are steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Mill diameter tolerance is plus 0.0000 / minus 0.0030 inches; shank diameter tolerance is plus 0.0000 / minus 0.0005 inches. Part of the M.A. FORD Series 180 end mill family.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists with the machine powered down and spindle fully stopped. Verify toolholder runout before securing to maintain the tight tolerances this tool is designed to hold. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and shop safety guidelines when setting tool length offsets and feed and speed parameters. This tool is not center-cutting and should not be used for plunge entry.
