Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention required when cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. The tool features a 3\/8 inch diameter with a matching 3\/8 inch shank, a 1-5\/8 inch length of cut, and a 3-1\/2 inch overall length. An ALtima Blaze AlCrN coating provides elevated oxidation resistance and thermal hardness, extending tool life at higher cutting speeds. This end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 27837530B belongs to the M.A. FORD 278 Series and is suited for milling operations on steel (ISO P), stainless steel (ISO M), cast iron (ISO K), and high-temperature alloys (ISO S). Its 40-degree helix angle and variable index geometry promote smooth chip evacuation and reduce chatter, making it appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes in vertical and horizontal machining centers. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral are standard for conventional CNC setups. Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate for superior hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze AlCrN coating for high-temperature oxidation resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-flute design increases feed rate capability compared to 4-flute equivalents in finishing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing reduces harmonic vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in ferrous and exotic materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys (ISO material codes P, M, K, and S).

Ensure the collet or end mill holder is clean and free of debris before seating the 3\/8 inch shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide tooling. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling 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: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 inches (1.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches (3.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima Blaze 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 Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, High-Temp Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 278\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 pounds\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: 27837530B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730365317426,"sku":"27837530B","price":177.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3299386d3126aff7da5fd93db3ed0781_a6eb329c-7288-4e50-9764-319f1011176c.jpg?v=1788716108","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-27837530b-square-end-mill-3-8-in-5-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
