Tuffcut Al 4.0 mm End Mill
This M.A. Ford 13515703N3 Tuffcut Al end mill is a 4.0 mm diameter cutting tool with a necked design and two flutes. It is intended for machinists and fabricators working on aluminium alloys and other non-ferrous materials where chip evacuation is critical.
Upgrade from standard flute tools
The necked profile and two-flute geometry replace conventional end mills when deeper reach or improved chip clearance in aluminium is required. The jump is worth it when standard tools rub on walls or pack flutes in soft, sticky alloys during profiling or slotting operations.
Limits of the necked two-flute design
The reduced core diameter at the neck limits rigidity compared to solid-shank tools, so heavy roughing cuts may deflect or chatter. The two-flute layout restricts feed rates in harder materials, and the cutting length confines the maximum depth of cut in a single pass.

- 2-flute design clears chips efficiently in aluminium
- necked shank reaches deep cavities without interference
- 0 mm diameter suits precision milling tasks
- Tuffcut Al geometry reduces built-up edge on soft metals
