Product Identity
The M.A. Ford 13531505N3 Tuffcut Al end mill is a two-flute necked cutter with an 8.0 mm diameter. It is manufactured for aluminium machining where high material removal rates and clean finishes are required. The tool suits CNC operators and job shops that run non-ferrous metals on a regular basis.
Intended Users
This cutter suits machinists who need a dedicated aluminium tool with a necked profile for extended reach in pockets or deep features. It is not for buyers who need more flutes for harder materials, or for anyone cutting steel, titanium or abrasive composites where a different geometry and coating are required.
Deciding Specification
The 8.0 mm cutting diameter is the single figure that determines whether this end mill matches the programmed tool path and holder capacity. If the CAM program or collet calls for a different diameter, this part will not fit the job.

Questions about this item
What milling machine or router collet size is required to hold the 8.0 mm shank?
Use a collet or holder that accepts an 8.0 mm shank; ensure the machine spindle runs true and the tool is clamped securely before cutting.
Can the necked 2-flute design clear chips effectively when paired with an older low-pressure coolant system?
The necked profile improves chip evacuation in deep slots, but low-pressure coolant may still require reduced step-over or peck cycles to prevent packing.
How can I verify the end mill is cutting cleanly in aluminium after the first pass?
Check for continuous, curled chips, a smooth wall finish without built-up edge, and consistent spindle load — adjust feed or speed if chips turn powdery or the surface tears.
