M.A. Ford 12.0 mm End Mill
The M.A. Ford 13547242N is a TuffCut AL two-flute end mill with a necked design and a 12.0 mm cutting diameter. It is engineered for high-performance machining of aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. The tool suits CNC operators and manufacturers who need efficient chip evacuation and clean finishes in softer alloys.
Verify toolholder and machine compatibility
Confirm that your toolholder accepts a 12.0 mm shank and that the machine spindle provides the required speed range for aluminium cutting. Check the necked length against your workpiece depth to ensure adequate reach without interference. Review the Proposition 65 warning regarding chemical exposure before handling or machining.
Replaces standard two-flute end mills
This necked tool upgrades from standard flute designs when deeper pocket access or improved chip clearance in aluminium is required. The jump is worth it for jobs where tool deflection or chip packing limits performance with shorter-reach cutters. It does not suit ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, or applications needing more than two flutes.

Questions about this item
Does the M.A. Ford 13547242N end mill come with a tool holder or collet in the box?
The 12.0 mm end mill is supplied as the cutter only; a suitable ER collet or shrink-fit holder matching the shank diameter must be purchased separately.
When should I choose the 12.0 mm necked two-flute version instead of a shorter or four-flute alternative?
Select the necked 12.0 mm two-flute geometry for deep-pocket aluminium profiling where reach and chip evacuation matter more than maximum rigidity.
What does the 12.0 mm diameter mean for feed rates when the tool is in a CNC spindle?
A 12.0 mm cutter allows higher material-removal rates than smaller diameters at the same spindle speed, but feed per tooth must still match the aluminium grade and machine rigidity.
