16.0 mm necked end mill for aluminium
This M.A. Ford Tuffcut Al cutter is a two-flute solid carbide end mill with a 16.0 mm necked diameter. It is designed for high-speed machining of aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. The necked geometry provides extended reach for deep pockets and cavities. Professional machinists and CNC operators use it for finishing and roughing operations.
Thermal and power behaviour in cutting
Carbide construction dissipates heat effectively during high-speed aluminium milling. The two-flute design creates large chip gullets that evacuate swarf quickly, reducing friction and tool temperature. Lower cutting forces compared with multi-flute tools decrease spindle load and power draw. Smooth flute surfaces minimise built-up edge formation that can increase vibration and noise.
California Proposition 65 compliance notice
The product carries a Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. This labelling satisfies regulatory requirements for sale into California. No additional accessories, coatings or software are bundled with the tool. Users must follow standard coolant and handling practices for carbide cutters.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 16.0 mm necked end mill in my tool holder, and what step is often missed?
Insert the shank fully into a matched collet or hydraulic holder, tighten to the manufacturer's torque spec, then verify run-out with a dial indicator before cutting.
What maintenance or replacement will the 2 flute Tuffcut Al end mill need over time?
The flutes will dull with use; plan to resharpen or replace the tool once edge wear reaches the limit specified by your shop's tool-management programme.
What limit appears first on the 13562903N3 during sustained aluminium profiling?
Heat buildup in the necked section typically reaches critical temperature before flank wear, so monitor spindle load and use flood coolant to delay that threshold.
