Built on the Series 180 platform, it features a 1\/2 inch cutting diameter, a 0.03 inch corner radius, and 7 flutes with a super close pitch  -  a configuration that reduces chatter and improves surface finish at elevated feed rates. The tool is coated with M.A. FORD ALtima Blaze, a PVD-applied coating designed to extend tool life and maintain edge integrity in abrasive, high-temperature cutting environments. The overall length is 4 inches with a 2 inch length of cut. Installation and use are performed by machinists and CNC tooling professionals working in precision machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for finishing passes in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. The right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting geometry suit standard CNC milling setups. The stub length type and 2 inch reach length make it well suited for pockets and profiles where rigidity is critical and deflection must be minimized. The single-end, straight cylindrical shank fits standard toolholders used on vertical and horizontal machining centers. A chipbreaker geometry is incorporated to aid chip evacuation in deep or semi-confined cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-flute super close pitch design improves surface finish and supports higher feed rates in finishing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.03 inch corner radius reduces stress concentrations at the cutting edge and extends tool life in profiling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze PVD coating provides thermal and wear resistance when cutting steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers rigidity and edge retention beyond high-speed steel alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChipbreaker geometry assists chip control and evacuation during extended cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flutes with medium helix style balance cutting forces across the flute length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard cylindrical-bore toolholders on CNC milling machines.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the tool from any toolholder. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cutting cycle. Do not use this end mill as a center-cutting plunge tool  -  centercutting is not supported by this geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches (0.0315 inches decimal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0300 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 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\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\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\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Finishing\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\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches L x 0.5 inches W x 0.5 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 180L5004B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740473196850,"sku":"180L5004B","price":322.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4bd0255fce14378ef5992f364471eb23.jpg?v=1788825238","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-180l5004b-corner-radius-end-mill-1-2in-7-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
