M.a. Ford 27750017B Corner Radius End Mill Head 4 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27750017B is a solid carbide corner radius end mill head designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. This 4-flute head features a right-hand cutting direction with a variable helix angle ranging from 38 to 41 degrees and a variable index design. The variable helix reduces harmonic vibration during cutting, improving surface finish and tool life. With an overall length of 3 inches and a cutting profile height and width of 0.5 inches each, this head suits tight-tolerance work where a corner radius end type is required. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on compatible modular end mill systems.

This corner radius end mill head is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling operations where a replaceable-head modular tooling system is in use. The helical flute geometry with right-hand flute direction promotes efficient chip evacuation during peripheral and slot milling. The corner radius end type reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge, making it appropriate for semi-finishing and finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 4-flute configuration supports higher feed rates compared to lower flute counts on compatible setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in demanding cutting applications
• Variable helix angle from 38 to 41 degrees reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• Variable index spacing distributes cutting forces evenly across the flutes
• Corner radius end type reduces edge chipping and extends tool life during finishing passes
• Right-hand helical flute direction promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 4-flute design supports higher material removal rates on compatible modular tooling systems

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style corner radius end mill head for compatible modular end mill tooling systems that accept this head profile and shank interface.

Installation Notes

Installation of modular end mill heads should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tooling system manufacturer's torque and interface specifications. Always ensure the machine spindle is powered down and the tool holder is fully secured before mounting or removing the head. Inspect the mating interface for chips or debris before assembly to ensure proper seating and runout performance.
