M.a. Ford 277L1874B Corner Radius End Mill Head 4 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 277L1874B is a solid carbide corner radius end mill head designed for high-performance milling applications. Built with 4 helical flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, this head delivers smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finishes on a wide range of materials. The variable index and variable helix design reduce harmonic vibration during cutting, which extends tool life and improves cut quality. The helix angle ranges from 38 to 41 degrees, optimizing chip flow across varying feed rates. At 2.5 inches in length with a 0.31-inch height and 0.31-inch width profile, this compact head fits standard compatible modular tooling systems used in CNC machining environments.

This end mill head is suited for precision machining operations in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms. The corner radius end type protects cutting edges from chipping and is commonly selected for finish milling, shoulder milling, and contouring passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and CNC operators working with modular end mill systems will find this head a direct-fit replacement for worn or damaged heads without requiring full tool replacement. It is packaged individually and sold as a single unit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement head for compatible modular corner radius end mill systems. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating an end mill head. Ensure the mating shank and clamping interface are clean and free of chips or debris before torquing the head into position. Follow the tool manufacturer's assembly procedure for the specific modular system in use.
