With a 0.25-inch mill diameter, a 0.75-inch length of cut, and a 2.5-inch overall length, this end mill is built for precision slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. The ALtima Blaze finish provides enhanced heat resistance and lubricity at the cutting edge. A 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry make this a standard configuration for most CNC and manual milling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills across job shop, tool-and-die, and production environments. The 5-flute design allows for higher feed rates compared to 3- or 4-flute configurations, making it a practical choice when surface finish and material removal rate both matter. Typical applications include finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials, as well as side milling and light slotting where a 0.25-inch diameter tool provides adequate rigidity. The 0.25-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks and end mill holders common in most shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-flute geometry supports higher feed rates and improved surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze finish enhances heat resistance and extends tool life in abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration for standard milling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-centercutting design — not intended for plunge cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or standard selection for 0.25-inch square end mill applications using ER collet chucks or end mill holders with a 0.25-inch bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the end mill. Torque the collet nut or set screw to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, avoid direct plunge moves — use ramping or helical entry toolpaths instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches (3\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches (2-1\/2 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima Blaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: 27825010B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727459123506,"sku":"27825010B","price":76.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3299386d3126aff7da5fd93db3ed0781.jpg?v=1788678154","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-27825010b-square-end-mill-1-4-inch-5-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
