M.A. Ford 1/4" Carbide End Mill
The M.A. Ford 11125000 is a solid carbide square end mill with a 0.25 inch milling diameter and a 0.75 inch length of cut. It features a straight shank of 1/4 inch diameter and an overall length of 2 1/2 inches. This uncoated tool is designed for general-purpose milling operations in a variety of materials.
Practical limits of the uncoated carbide standard
Uncoated carbide performs well in many ferrous and non-ferrous materials but can wear faster in high-temperature alloys or abrasive composites. The 0.75 inch cutting depth limits the maximum depth per pass without multiple steps. Chip evacuation in deep slots relies on external coolant or air blast because the tool has no internal channels.
Installation and common issues
The 1/4 inch shank fits standard ER collets, Weldon flats or shrink-fit holders with the correct bore size. Runout increases quickly if the holder or collet is worn, so inspect clamping hardware before use. Vibration often appears when the tool overhang exceeds the shortest practical length for the operation. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item
Which diameter and cut length suit my milling job?
This end mill has a .25 in milling diameter and a .75 in length of cut, so choose it when your tool path needs those exact dimensions.
How does the .75 in length of cut perform in a real machine?
The .75 in length of cut lets you remove up to three-quarters of an inch of material per pass in a single engagement.
What shank standard does it use and what does that limit?
It uses a 1/4 in straight shank, so it fits any 1/4 in collet or holder and caps the maximum tool diameter to .25 in.
