Ford. 277L5000B Square End Mill 1\/2 in 4 Flute Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD. 277L5000B is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 1\/2 inch mill diameter and 4 helical flutes, this single-end tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and a smooth cutting action. The variable helix design at 38\/41 degrees reduces harmonic vibration during high-speed cuts, improving surface finish and tool life. An AlCrN (aluminum chromium nitride) coating adds heat resistance and wear protection, making this end mill well-suited for hard and abrasive materials. Micrograin carbide construction provides rigidity and edge retention across demanding cutting conditions. This tool is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is used in milling operations on ferrous metals, hardened steels, stainless, and similar difficult-to-machine alloys. It fits standard 1\/2 inch tool holders and collets used on vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills. The 2 inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth side milling and slotting operations, while the 4 inch overall length suits standard spindle clearance requirements. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are the standard configuration for conventional and climb milling on CNC and manual equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix angle (38\/41 degrees) reduces chatter and vibration during high-speed milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlCrN coating provides thermal resistance and extended wear life on hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction maintains edge sharpness and rigidity under heavy cutting loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual milling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 1\/2 inch shank for direct mounting in standard collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for standard 1\/2 inch shank end mill holders, ER collet chucks, and shrink-fit tooling systems used on CNC vertical machining centers and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators using a torque wrench and appropriate collet nut or set-screw holder per the machine tool manufacturer's specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe locked-out state before changing tooling. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning any cut. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the specific workpiece material and depth of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin Grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlCrN (Aluminum Chromium Nitride)\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\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\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: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 277L5000B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734750789938,"sku":"277L5000B","price":266.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/736f1c0906db09c1884ac25d714da5a9_e1c00a4e-2d70-4cfb-82c1-2fd66cae6019.jpg?v=1788766595","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-277l5000b-square-end-mill-1-2-in-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
