M.a. Ford. 38037514AX Corner Radius End Mill Head 9 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 38037514AX is a solid carbide corner radius end mill head engineered for high-performance milling applications. Featuring 9 flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, this head delivers smooth material removal and excellent surface finish in demanding machining environments. The corner radius end type reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge, extending tool life in both roughing and finishing passes. At 1.0 inch length of cut, it suits a range of depth requirements in production and job-shop settings. Machinists and CNC operators working in metalworking, aerospace, mold making, and general manufacturing are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill head is suited for use in modular tooling systems that accept replaceable milling heads, reducing tooling costs while maintaining consistent cutting geometry. The 9-flute configuration makes it particularly effective in high-feed, high-speed machining of harder materials where chip load per tooth is reduced and finish quality is prioritized. It is appropriate for use on CNC machining centers in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The right-hand spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during cutting operations.

Key Features

• 9-flute design for high-speed finishing and reduced chip load per tooth
• Solid carbide construction for hardness, heat resistance, and edge retention
• Corner radius end type reduces edge chipping and extends tool life
• Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute spiral direction for standard spindle compatibility
• 1.0 inch length of cut for versatile depth capability
• Replaceable head format reduces tooling cost versus solid end mill assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style modular end mill head for use in compatible modular milling tool systems that accept this head form factor and size. Verify shank and coupling compatibility with your specific toolholder before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing milling heads. Use the appropriate torque wrench and head-locking tool specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the head — do not use improvised tools that could damage the coupling interface. Inspect the mating surfaces for chips or debris before assembly to ensure proper seating and runout performance.
