M.A. Ford 13550001N End Mill
The M.A. Ford 13550001N is a two-flute necked end mill from the TuffCut AL range. It is a cutting tool designed for machining aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer. Orders of 75 or more qualify for free shipping.
Machinists cutting aluminium
This end mill suits machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated tool for high-performance aluminium milling. The necked design provides clearance for deeper pocketing or profiling operations. It is not intended for cutting steel, titanium or other hard alloys. Buyers who require a different flute count, coating or substrate should look at alternative tooling.
Two-flute necked geometry
The defining specification is the two-flute necked geometry optimised for aluminium removal. This configuration balances chip evacuation and rigidity in soft, sticky materials. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Verify the cutter diameter and shank compatibility with your holder before purchasing.

Questions about this item
What does the 13550001 model number identify in a milling setup?
The 13550001 is the manufacturer part number for the M.A. Ford TuffCut AL 2-flute necked end mill in 1/2 inch diameter, used for aluminium and non-ferrous profiling.
Which shank standard does this cutter use and what does it limit?
The cutter uses a standard 1/2 inch straight shank, limiting it to collets, end-mill holders or shrink-fit chucks that accept that diameter.
What physical clearance does the necked design need to fit inside a workpiece?
The reduced-diameter neck behind the flutes provides extra reach for deep pockets or walls, so the bore or cavity must be wide enough to clear the shank above the neck.
