M.a. Ford 27862522B Corner Radius End Mill Head 5 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 27862522B is a solid carbide corner radius end mill head designed for high-performance milling applications in metal fabrication and machining environments. This replacement-style end mill head features 5 flutes with a spiral flute form and a right-hand cutting direction, delivering efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The corner radius end type reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge, extending tool life in demanding materials. With a length of cut of 1.625 inches, it suits a range of interpolation and profiling operations. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with modular tooling systems are the primary users of this head.

This end mill head is suited for use in CNC machining centers running modular or exchangeable-head tooling systems. It is well matched to finishing and semi-finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where corner radius geometry is required to reduce edge chipping and improve surface finish. The right-hand flute direction and variable index design help minimize vibration during high-speed cutting operations, making it appropriate for precision work in job shop and production machining environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in demanding materials
• 5-flute spiral design improves chip flow and surface finish quality
• Corner radius end type reduces edge stress and extends cutting edge life
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Variable index geometry helps dampen vibration during high-speed passes
• 1.625-inch length of cut suitable for profiling and interpolation operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement end mill head for modular tooling systems accepting exchangeable carbide end mill heads of matching head diameter and thread interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tooling system manufacturer's torque and seating procedures for exchangeable head systems. Ensure the spindle and tool holder are clean and free of chips before threading the head onto the arbor. Confirm proper seating and runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut. Follow all shop safety protocols and machine guarding requirements during tool changes.
