It features a 3\/64 inch (0.0468 inch) cutting diameter and a 9\/64 inch (0.14 inch) length of cut, making it suited for fine-feature work in tight geometries. The variable helix geometry, running at 31 and 35 degrees, reduces chatter and harmonic vibration during the cut. An AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extends tool life in high-speed and dry cutting applications. This end mill is center-cutting, right-hand cut, and right-hand flute with a micrograin carbide substrate for edge toughness and wear resistance. It is installed and used by machinists and tool room technicians in CNC and manual milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool is intended for use in high-precision milling applications requiring a small-diameter, short-reach end mill. The 1\/8 inch shank diameter makes it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders found on CNC machining centers and vertical mills. Its standard length classification and 1.5 inch overall length (OAL) suit it for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where heat generation is a concern. The AlTiN coating is particularly effective in harder workpiece materials and elevated cutting temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix at 31 and 35 degrees reduces vibration and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating provides high heat resistance for dry and high-speed cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate delivers edge sharpness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 flute geometry balances chip evacuation and rigidity at small diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard CNC spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 1\/8 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Seat the 1\/8 inch shank fully and evenly in the collet to the recommended engagement depth to prevent runout. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and coating type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/64 inch (0.0468 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/64 inch (0.14 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.125 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31\/35 degrees (Variable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 3MVR0468AH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"M.A. FORD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734975447346,"sku":"3MVR0468AH","price":92.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6b36a9c38800c84d41cfab9acc8f0bb4_c951095c-b140-4de7-8e27-c6bc7a19589e.jpg?v=1788768776","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/m-a-ford-3mvr0468ah-square-end-mill-3-flute-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
