M.A. Ford 14.0 mm End Mill
The M.A. Ford 13555120 is a two-flute Tuffcut Al end mill with a 14.0 mm cutting diameter. It is designed for machinists and fabricators working with aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. The tool geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in high-speed milling operations. This item is supplied new from the manufacturer.
Thermals, noise and power draw
Cutting tools generate heat at the interface between flute and workpiece rather than through an internal power supply. Thermal load depends on spindle speed, feed rate and coolant strategy selected by the operator. No electrical power rating or acoustic specification applies to this solid carbide cutter. Proper lubrication manages temperature during extended cuts.
Upgrade context
This end mill replaces worn or lower-helix cutters that struggle with aluminium chip welding. The jump is worth it when existing tools leave poor surface finish or fail prematurely in non-ferrous alloys. It is not suited for hardened steels, titanium alloys or abrasive composites requiring specialised coatings. Buyers needing longer reach or different shank configurations must select alternative tooling.

Questions about this item
How do I fit the 14.0 mm shank into my tool holder?
Use a collet or end-mill holder sized exactly for 14.0 mm; the common mistake is forcing it into a 1/2 inch or 12 mm bore which damages both shank and holder.
What replacement will the 13555120 need over time?
The two-flute carbide edges wear down; plan to resharpen or replace the cutter when the flutes no longer shear cleanly in aluminium.
What limit appears first during a long slot in aluminium?
Chip evacuation clogs the two flutes before heat becomes critical, so clear chips frequently to avoid flute packing and tool breakage.
