Ford 27737500N3B 3\/8 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide End Mill","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 27737500N3B is a 4-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. With a 3\/8 inch (0.375 inch) mill diameter and a 1\/2 inch length of cut, it delivers precise material removal in a compact profile. The ALtima Blaze coating improves heat resistance and tool life in difficult-to-machine materials. A variable helix angle of 38 to 41 degrees combined with a variable index reduces chatter and harmonics during cutting, making it well-suited for finish milling and contour operations. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production facilities are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill fits applications where a right-hand cutting, right-hand flute, centercutting tool is required. The extended reach design, with a 1-1\/8 inch reach length and an overall length of 3 inches, allows access to deeper features or stepped surfaces without tool interference. The straight-cylindrical shank with a 3\/8 inch diameter suits standard collets and end mill holders. It is appropriate for milling steel, stainless, and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a coated carbide tool provides a performance advantage over uncoated alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute helical design for improved chip evacuation and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix (38 to 41 degrees) and variable index reduce vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze coating for enhanced heat resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended reach at 1.125 inches for access to deeper milled features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for 3\/8 inch 4-flute square end mills in the M.A. FORD 277N series.

Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe lockout state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or holder and torque the retention system according to the machine or toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.375 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\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 to 0.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.375 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/8 inch (1.125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 to 41 degrees (Variable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima Blaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: 0.13 pounds\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: 27737500N3B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732759216434,"sku":"27737500N3B","price":190.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f6d421361082cedd03d83e481c4bcd5f.jpg?v=1788746397","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-27737500n3b-3-8-in-4-flute-solid-carbide-end-mill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
