Ford 27831220B Square End Mill 5\/16 in 5 Flute Carbide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M.A. FORD 27831220B is a single-end square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this 5-flute tool measures 5\/16 inches in diameter with a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut and a 3 inch overall length. The 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. An AlCrN (aluminum chromium nitride) coating adds thermal stability and wear resistance, extending tool life in high-speed and dry cutting conditions. This end mill ships as a single-piece unit and is suited for machinists and tooling specialists working in production or job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for milling slots, profiles, and contours in materials that benefit from a high-helix, coated carbide geometry. The variable index flute spacing reduces harmonic chatter during aggressive cuts, making it a practical choice for finishing and semi-finishing passes. The 5\/16 inch shank diameter matches the 5\/16 inch cutting diameter for direct collet or end mill holder mounting. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC and manual milling machines. The centercutting design allows plunge entry where required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlCrN coating provides high-temperature wear resistance for dry or minimal-lubrication cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 flutes with variable index spacing to reduce chatter and improve surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation in deeper cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 5\/16 inch collets, end mill holders, or shrink-fit tooling systems on CNC machining centers and conventional milling machines.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the holder and verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for the specific workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\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: 1-1\/4 inches (1.25 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlCrN\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End, Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 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: 27831220B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748454859058,"sku":"27831220B","price":156.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3299386d3126aff7da5fd93db3ed0781_b1c278fe-acbb-4962-9be1-698f2d687607.jpg?v=1788893978","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-27831220b-square-end-mill-5-16-in-5-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
