12 mm Carbide End Mill for Milling
The M.A. Ford 11147240A is a solid-carbide square end mill with a 12.00 mm cutting diameter and 25.00 mm length of cut. It suits machinists and maintenance teams profiling slots, pockets and contours in steel, stainless steel and cast iron. The Altima coating extends tool life when cutting abrasive or high-temperature alloys.
Practical Limits of Carbide Tooling
Carbide delivers high wear resistance but fractures under heavy interruption or severe vibration. Rigid toolholding and a stable machine spindle are essential to prevent chipping. The 76.00 mm overall length limits reach in deep cavities, and the 12.00 mm shank diameter requires a matching collet or holder. Coolant or air blast improves chip evacuation in sticky materials.
Diameter Decides Fit and Finish
The 12.00 mm milling diameter is the single specification that determines whether this cutter matches the programmed tool path and workpiece geometry. Selecting a different diameter would alter step-over, corner radii and final part dimensions. Verify the CAD/CAM programme calls for exactly 12.00 mm before ordering.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 12.00 mm or 25.00 mm version of this end mill?
The 12.00 mm figure is the cutting diameter and the 25.00 mm figure is the cutting length; they describe the same tool, not alternative versions.
What does the 12.00 mm diameter mean when the tool is in the spindle?
It means the cutter will remove a 12.00 mm wide channel in a single pass, and the shank is also 12.00 mm so it fits a matching collet directly.
What standard governs the 12.00 mm shank and what does it limit?
The 12.00 mm shank follows common metric tool-holding standards and limits the tool to holders or collets sized for 12.00 mm.
