End Mill for Aluminium Machining
This M.A. Ford end mill is a solid-carbide cutting tool designed for aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. The two-flute geometry provides wide chip gullets that evacuate material efficiently. The necked profile extends reach for pocketing and deep cavity work. It suits CNC operators and job-shop machinists who need reliable aluminium roughing and finishing.
12.0 mm Diameter with Necked Reach
The 12.0 mm cutting diameter handles medium-scale profiling and slotting in aluminium alloys. Two flutes balance chip load and surface finish at typical high spindle speeds. The necked shank clears fixture walls and deep pockets without shank interference. Tool life decreases in abrasive composites or hardened steels where specialised coatings are required.
Manufacturer-Direct Supply Chain
The tool ships directly from M.A. Ford, reducing transit handling and ensuring factory-fresh condition. Direct supply simplifies traceability for quality-controlled aerospace or medical jobs. California Proposition 65 warnings note chemical content that requires standard shop ventilation and PPE. No coatings, coolant systems or tool holders are included.

Questions about this item
Will the 12.0 mm necked shank on the Tuffcut Al 13547241N clear the fixtures on my older CNC router?
The necked design provides extra reach so the 12.0 mm cutter can access deep pockets without the shank contacting the workpiece or fixture clamps.
How can I confirm the 2-flute Tuffcut Al 13547241N is cutting cleanly in aluminium after installation?
Look for a smooth, shiny finish with no built-up edge on the flutes and consistent chip evacuation; excessive vibration or a dull surface indicates a setup issue.
Does the M.A. Ford 13547241N end mill come with a tool holder or collet in the package?
The box contains only the solid-carbide end mill; a compatible ER collet, shrink-fit holder or hydraulic chuck must be purchased separately.
