Built to Series 180CB specifications, this tool features a 0.5 inch mill diameter, 7-flute geometry, and a 38-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The ALtima Blaze coating extends tool life across a range of workpiece materials. With a 3 inch length of cut and 5 inch overall length, this is an extra-long reach tool suited for deep-pocket and extended-reach milling operations. Installation and setup are handled by machinists and CNC programmers in shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for milling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, with primary workpiece material codes covering H, K, M, P, and S classifications. These codes correspond broadly to hardened steels, cast irons, stainless and heat-resistant alloys, general steels, and titanium or superalloy materials. The extra-long configuration makes it particularly useful in mold-making, die work, and deep-cavity machining where standard-length tooling cannot reach. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER collet chucks and side-lock holders with a 0.5 inch bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-flute solid carbide construction in micrograin carbide grade for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip flow and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze coating for extended tool life on hardened steels, stainless, and superalloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra-long 3 inch length of cut for deep-pocket and extended-reach milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with right-hand spiral flute; standard for conventional CNC milling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank compatible with common collet and side-lock toolholding systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style tooling solution for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or toolholder to the minimum engagement depth recommended for the holder type. Verify runout at the tool tip before beginning a cut, especially given the extra-long reach, as deflection is more pronounced on extended tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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 Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima Blaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\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\u003eChipbreaker\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: Extra Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180CB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.0011 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.0043 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4538 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: 180X5000B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754295787826,"sku":"180X5000B","price":373.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4bd0255fce14378ef5992f364471eb23_715a4bc2-2b73-4964-b34e-59ebe7d0b4d9.jpg?v=1788944297","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-180x5000b-square-end-mill-0-5-in-7-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
