Product Identity
The M.A. Ford 13531505N5 is a two-flute end mill with an 8.0 mm cutting diameter designed for aluminium machining. Its necked geometry provides extended reach for deeper pockets and cavities in non-ferrous materials.
Practical Limits
The two-flute design optimises chip evacuation in aluminium but limits feed rates in harder alloys or abrasive composites. The uncoated substrate relies on sharp geometry rather than thermal barriers, so sustained high-speed cuts in steel will degrade the edge quickly.
Setup Check
Verify your tool holder accepts an 8.0 mm shank and that the machine spindle delivers sufficient run-out accuracy for the necked length. Confirm the workpiece material is aluminium or similar non-ferrous metal to match the tool's intended cutting parameters.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 8.0 mm necked version or a different diameter for aluminium work?
The 8.0 mm necked end mill is sized for slots and pockets that need that exact cutter diameter and extra reach in aluminium.
What does the 2 flute design mean when the tool is cutting aluminium in my machine?
Two flutes give large chip gullets that evacuate aluminium swarf quickly and reduce welding on the cutting edges.
Which shank standard does the 13531505N5 use and what does that limit?
The tool uses a standard cylindrical shank that fits common ER collets and Weldon holders, limiting run-out to the holder’s tolerance.
