M.a. Ford. 18075014B Corner Radius End Mill 3/4 in 7 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 18075014B is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance finishing operations in demanding materials. Built on the Series 180 platform, it features a 3/4 inch diameter, 7-flute, super-close pitch geometry that maximizes surface contact and chip evacuation in tight finishing passes. The 0.03 inch corner radius reduces stress concentrations at part edges. An ALtima Blaze PVD coating extends tool life when cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in precision machining environments.

This end mill is intended for finishing passes in ferrous and high-temperature alloy machining. The stub-length configuration with a 1-1/2 inch length of cut and 4 inch overall length suits applications where rigidity matters more than reach. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard toolholders. Its right-hand cutting, right-hand flute spiral, and medium helix angle make it compatible with conventional vertical and horizontal milling setups targeting fine surface finishes on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium workpieces.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• ALtima Blaze PVD coating rated for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium applications
• 7-flute super-close pitch geometry optimized for finishing material removal
• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress risers on finished workpiece surfaces
• Single-end, stub-length design prioritizes stiffness and minimizes deflection in short-reach operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction compatible with standard CNC milling spindles

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-bore toolholders accepting a 3/4 inch cylindrical shank. Intended for machining steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium as primary workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or removing the end mill from the toolholder. Confirm shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before commencing cuts. Follow the machine manufacturer and toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for set screws or collet nuts.
