M.a. Ford 278X25002B Corner Radius End Mill Head 5 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 278X25002B is a solid carbide corner radius end mill head designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built with 5 flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, this replacement head delivers smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finishes on a variety of workpiece materials. The spiral flute geometry and variable index design help reduce chatter and vibration during cuts. With a 1.75-inch length of cut, it is suited for moderate-depth profiling and contouring passes where edge integrity and tool life are priorities.

This end mill head is intended for use in machine shop environments where modular or replaceable cutting head systems are employed. It fits applications in CNC machining centers and milling machines handling ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The corner radius end type protects the cutting edge from chipping at the start and exit of a cut, making it a practical choice for finishing passes and semi-finishing operations on hardened or abrasive materials. Installation requires a compatible modular end mill body that accepts this head style and size.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• 5-flute configuration for improved surface finish and feed rate capability
• Corner radius end type reduces edge chipping during entry and exit
• Variable index flute spacing reduces harmonic vibration and chatter
• Right-hand spiral flutes with right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC spindle operation
• 1.75-inch length of cut supports moderate-depth profiling and contouring work

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style corner radius end mill head for modular milling systems that accept compatible cutting head interfaces. Consult the modular body manufacturer specifications to confirm head-to-body fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of modular end mill heads should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tool manufacturer torque and assembly procedures for the specific modular body system in use. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before handling cutting tools. Inspect the mating threads and seating surfaces for debris or damage prior to assembly. Use appropriate tool holders and follow shop safety protocols when handling carbide cutting tools.
