With a mill diameter of 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch) and a 3-inch overall length, this end mill is built for extended-reach applications where standard-length tooling cannot access the cut zone. The ALtima Blaze coating provides thermal and wear resistance suited to high-speed cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The variable helix (38\/41 degrees) and variable index geometry reduce chatter and improve surface finish across a range of cutting conditions. Installed by machinists and CNC operators, this tool is a direct fit for 3\/16-inch collets or tool holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 27718700N3B is intended for use in vertical and horizontal milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual mills requiring a 3\/16-inch diameter square end mill. It is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in applications where extended reach of 0.5625 inches is necessary. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle configurations. Its Series 277N designation places it within M.A. FORD's extended-reach variable-helix family, appropriate for production and toolroom 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 demanding cutting operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze coating enhances tool life in high-temperature cutting of hardened and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix angle (38\/41 degrees) and variable index geometry minimize vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended reach with 0.5625-inch reach length allows access to deep or confined features\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable, permitting plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand helical flutes for use with standard milling machine spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and production cutting tool for milling machines and CNC machining centers accepting a 3\/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank end mill.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the straight-cylindrical shank fully into the collet or tool holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the machine or holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts, particularly given the extended-reach geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima Blaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2000 - 0.3000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5625 inches (9\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38\/41 degrees (variable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 277N\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 27718700N3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51743350489394,"sku":"27718700N3B","price":129.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f6d421361082cedd03d83e481c4bcd5f_5323f432-ec9d-42cd-bfaf-d93db158f778.jpg?v=1788846007","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-27718700n3b-square-end-mill-3-16-inch-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
