With a 0.125-inch mill diameter and a 4-flute configuration, this single-end tool delivers efficient material removal and smooth finishes in tight geometries. The ALtima Blaze coating provides elevated heat and wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A variable helix design with 35 and 38 degree angles reduces chatter and harmonic vibration during cutting, making this tool well suited for precision contouring, profiling, and finishing passes. It is a standard-length tool in the Series 279 lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where fine detail work and contour milling are required. The 0.125-inch ball nose radius enables accurate radius generation in slots, pockets, and 3D surface profiles. Its right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle configurations. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in mold making, aerospace components, and precision part fabrication will find this tool appropriate for finish-pass work at small diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima Blaze coating increases heat resistance and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix angles of 35 and 38 degrees reduce vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index spacing improves surface finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral geometry for efficient chip evacuation in contouring operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall nose radius of 0.0625 inches enables precise 3D profiling and radius milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-length replacement or addition for CNC machining setups requiring 1\/8-inch shank, single-end ball mills with 1\/8-inch straight shanks compatible with standard ER collet systems and toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a safe lockout state. The 1\/8-inch shank requires a properly sized collet or toolholder torqued to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as small-diameter carbide tools are sensitive to excessive runout and may fracture. Follow your machine tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: ALtima Blaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 and 38 degrees (Variable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0625 inches\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\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 279\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\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: 27912510B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732614119730,"sku":"27912510B","price":52.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/04d15ef6acd53ada732b31c328c966bd.jpg?v=1788745032","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-27912510b-ball-end-mill-1-8-in-4-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
