M.a. Ford. 3MVS0938N5AH Square End Mill 3/32 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The M.A. FORD. 3MVS0938N5AH is a 3-flute, solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. With a mill diameter of 0.0938 inches (3/32 inches) and a 9/64-inch length of cut, this tool is built for tight-tolerance work in confined areas. The AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in high-speed cutting environments. A variable helix angle of 31/35 degrees reduces harmonic vibration, improving surface finish and cutting stability. The micrograin carbide substrate supports the edge integrity needed for consistent performance in hard or abrasive materials. It is a single-end, center-cutting tool and is appropriate for machinists and tooling professionals working on CNC mills and precision machining centers.

This end mill is suited for small-diameter milling operations in industries where tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are required, including aerospace, mold making, and precision component manufacturing. The stub-length classification and extended-reach design make it effective in applications where standard-length tools would be impractical. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling setups. The 1/8-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collet systems used across a wide range of CNC machining centers.

Key Features

• 3-flute solid carbide construction with micrograin substrate for edge retention in hard materials
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life
• Variable helix angle (31/35 degrees) reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece
• Extended-reach geometry for access in deep or confined features
• Single-end design with right-hand cut and right-hand helical flutes

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 1/8-inch shank collet systems on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers. Specific model compatibility was not provided in the product data; confirm collet size and spindle clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the 1/8-inch shank fully in the collet to the recommended engagement depth per your machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Verify runout after mounting to confirm concentricity before beginning a cutting operation.
