M.A. Ford 12.0 mm End Mill
The M.A. Ford 13547201N5 is a Tuffcut Al 2 flute end mill with a necked design and a 12.0 mm diameter. It is intended for milling operations in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. The tool suits machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated aluminium cutter with reach for deeper features.
Two-flute geometry for aluminium
The two-flute configuration provides large chip gullets that evacuate material efficiently in soft, sticky alloys. This geometry prevents clogging and reduces built-up edge during high-speed passes. The necked shank allows access to pockets and cavities that a standard length tool cannot reach. It is not suited for heavy roughing in steel or high-temperature alloys where flute count and coating requirements differ.
Necked shank and Proposition 65 notice
The necked profile increases rigidity at the cutting zone while clearing deep workpiece features without shank interference. The tool carries a California Proposition 65 warning for exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Users should follow standard shop safety practices including ventilation and personal protective equipment when machining.

Questions about this item
Will the 12.0 mm necked shank fit the tool holders I already use for smaller end mills?
The 12.0 mm shank requires a holder or collet sized for 12 mm; smaller holders will not accept it.
How can I confirm the Tuffcut Al 2 flute end mill is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for smooth chip evacuation, minimal vibration, and a clean finish on aluminium workpieces.
Does the 13547201N5 come with a tool holder or only the end mill itself?
Only the end mill is supplied; a compatible 12 mm holder or collet must be purchased separately.
