M.a. Ford. 38050012AX Corner Radius End Mill Head 9 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 38050012AX is a 9-flute corner radius end mill head engineered for high-performance milling applications. Constructed from solid carbide, this replacement-style cutting head delivers rigidity and wear resistance in demanding machining environments. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction suit standard spindle rotation on most CNC machining centers and manual mills. With a 1.25-inch length of cut and spiral flute geometry, it handles side milling, slotting, and finishing passes where a corner radius profile is required. This head is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working in metal fabrication, aerospace, and general manufacturing.

This end mill head is designed for use in modular tooling systems that accept replaceable milling heads, reducing downtime and tooling cost compared to solid shank end mills. Typical applications include finishing and semi-finishing of steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous alloys in both production and job-shop environments. The corner radius end type reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge, extending tool life in profiling and contour milling operations. Sold individually as a single-piece unit.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and heat resistance in metal cutting
• 9-flute design increases feed rates and improves surface finish on finishing passes
• Corner radius end type reduces edge chipping and extends tool life in profile milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard CNC spindle rotation
• 1.25-inch length of cut suits a range of side milling and slotting depths
• Modular replacement head design minimizes tooling changeover time

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style corner radius end mill head for modular milling tooling systems accepting 9-flute carbide heads. Consult the toolholder manufacturer specifications to confirm interface compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer torque and interface guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing cutting heads. Inspect the mating interface on both the head and the toolholder for chips, damage, or contamination before assembly. Handle solid carbide cutting tools carefully to avoid edge chipping from impact or dropping.
