M.a. Ford 3MVR0938R.005AH Corner Radius End Mill Head

Product Description

The M.A. FORD 3MVR0938R.005AH is a solid carbide corner radius end mill head designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. This three-flute head features a right-hand cutting direction with a right-hand flute spiral, variable index spacing, and variable helix geometry. The combination of variable index and variable helix reduces harmonic chatter during cuts, improving surface finish and tool stability. With a length of cut of 0.281 inches and a compact overall length of 1.5 inches, this head is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes where tight tolerances and smooth corner radii are required. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill head is intended for use in modular or interchangeable-head milling systems where the cutting head mounts to a compatible arbor or shank body. It is well suited for milling steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and similar materials in applications that demand a controlled corner radius profile. Typical use cases include die and mold work, part profiling, and finish contouring where the end geometry must produce a consistent radius blend at the base of a feature. The three-flute configuration balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality in moderate to light material removal applications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability
• Three-flute design balances chip clearance and finish quality
• Variable index and variable helix geometry reduce chatter and vibration during cutting
• Corner radius end type produces a smooth, blended radius at the base of milled features
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard CNC and manual milling setups
• Length of cut of 0.281 inches suited for finishing and detail passes

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style interchangeable end mill head compatible with modular milling tool systems that accept this head form factor. Confirm arbor or shank compatibility with the specific tool body before installation. No additional compatible model numbers were specified in available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. The machine spindle must be fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing any cutting head. Use the appropriate torque wrench and head-locking tool as specified by the tool body manufacturer when securing the head to the arbor. Inspect the mating surfaces of both the head and the shank body for chips or debris before assembly to ensure proper seating and runout performance.
