M.a. Ford. 277XCB3750B Square End Mill 3/8 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 277XCB3750B is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. It features a 3/8 inch cutting diameter, a 2.5 inch length of cut, and 4 helical flutes ground from micrograin carbide stock. The AlCrN coating provides high-temperature wear resistance, making this end mill well-suited for aggressive cuts in ferrous and hardened materials. A 38/41 variable helix geometry reduces harmonic chatter during cutting, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy and surface finish in demanding applications. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production facilities.

This end mill is intended for use in vertical machining centers, CNC milling machines, and manual mills where a 3/8 inch shank is compatible with the spindle or collet system in use. The single-end configuration and right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction make it a standard fit for conventional milling setups. Its center-cutting capability allows plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling operations. Typical applications include profiling, slotting, and contouring in steel, stainless, and similar high-strength alloys.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• AlCrN coating for elevated heat and wear resistance in ferrous materials
• 38/41 variable helix reduces vibration and chatter during cutting
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• 4 helical flutes with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction
• Single-end tool with 3/8 inch shank matching the cutting diameter

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC or manual milling machines equipped with a 3/8 inch collet, end mill holder, or compatible toolholder accepting a 3/8 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the toolholder. Seat the shank to the full recommended engagement depth in the collet or holder and torque the drawbar or collet nut per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
