It features a 3\/8 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut, and five helical flutes with a 40-degree helix angle. The cutting geometry uses a variable index design to reduce harmonic vibration during aggressive cuts. An AlCrN (aluminum chromium nitride) coating provides high heat resistance and extended tool life in dry or minimal-lubrication machining environments. This end mill is single-end, right-hand cut, and right-hand flute, ground from micrograin carbide stock for edge consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations on machining centers and CNC mills. The 3\/8 inch shank diameter matches standard ER collet and end mill holder tooling. The 40-degree helix promotes efficient chip evacuation in steels, stainless alloys, and hardened materials where the AlCrN coating adds thermal stability. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry. Standard length classification makes it a direct fit for general-purpose and production milling applications in job shops and manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute variable index geometry reduces chatter and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlCrN coating delivers high oxidation resistance for dry and hard milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate provides edge sharpness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills using 3\/8 inch end mill holders or ER collet systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Seat the shank fully in the collet or tool holder and torque the retention system to the machine manufacturer specification before spindle engagement. Verify runout with a dial indicator before production use. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended depth-of-cut or feed rates for the workpiece material and coating type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\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: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlCrN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\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\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 27837520B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731076972850,"sku":"27837520B","price":166.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3299386d3126aff7da5fd93db3ed0781_3385daa8-93a7-44fb-a091-50da40421296.jpg?v=1788726665","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-27837520b-square-end-mill-3-8-in-5-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
