M.A. Ford 10.0 mm End Mill
The M.A. Ford 13539304N3 Tuffcut Al is a two-flute necked end mill with a 10.0 mm cutting diameter. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated aluminium milling tool. The necked design provides additional reach for deeper pocketing operations. This item is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Two-flute geometry for aluminium
The single specification that decides suitability is the two-flute configuration optimised for aluminium alloys. High helix angles and polished flutes evacuate chips efficiently in non-ferrous materials. Using this cutter on steel or titanium will cause premature wear and poor surface finish. Buyers who need a tool for ferrous metals should select a different geometry.
Aluminium capacity and limits
The 10.0 mm diameter comfortably handles medium-sized slots, profiles and pocketing in aluminium plate and billet. Chip evacuation remains reliable at standard milling parameters for this flute count. The tool runs out of rigidity in very deep cavities where deflection affects tolerance, and it is not suited for high-volume production in abrasive aluminium-silicon alloys. Orders of 75 or more qualify for free shipping from the supplier.

Questions about this item
What does the 10.0 mm diameter mean when the end mill is in the machine?
The 10.0 mm diameter sets the cutting width and corner radius for each pass in the spindle.
What shank interface does this tool use and what does it limit?
The shank fits standard collets or holders matching its diameter, limiting the tool to machines that accept that shank size.
What physical clearance does the necked design need to fit the workpiece?
The reduced neck behind the flutes requires enough reach clearance so the shank does not contact the part during deep cuts.
