M.a. Ford 27818734B Corner Radius End Mill Head 5 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27818734B is a solid carbide corner radius end mill head engineered for high-performance milling operations. Built with 5 helical flutes and a single-end configuration, it delivers clean corner radius cuts in a right-hand cutting direction. The straight shank measures 3/16 inch in diameter, and the overall length runs 2.5 inches with a height and width of 0.31 inches. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for demanding machining applications. A variable index geometry helps reduce chatter and vibration during cutting passes, making it a reliable choice for precision metalworking professionals.

This end mill head is suited for milling operations where corner radius profiles are required, such as finishing passes on molds, dies, and precision machined components. The right-hand flute direction and helical flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation and consistent surface finishes. It is designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling setups where a 3/16 inch straight shank toolholder is available. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and aerospace or automotive production environments will find this head appropriate for tight-tolerance radius work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior rigidity and extended tool life
• 5 helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes
• Corner radius end type for profile milling and radius contouring
• Variable index geometry reduces chatter and vibration during cuts
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC and manual milling setups
• Single-end design with a straight 3/16 inch shank for common toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill head for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/16 inch straight shank toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with rotating cutting tool setups. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before securing or changing any end mill head. Use a properly sized collet or toolholder rated for the 3/16 inch shank diameter to achieve correct runout and clamping force. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended setup procedures and applicable shop safety standards when installing or removing cutting tools.
