16.0 mm 2-Flute Necked End Mill
This M.A. Ford TuffCut end mill is a solid-carbide cutting tool designed for aluminium and non-ferrous materials. The 16.0 mm diameter and necked shank provide reach for deep pockets and cavities. Machinists and fabricators use it for high-speed profiling and slotting operations. It arrives new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Who should choose this tool and who should not
CNC programmers machining aluminium, brass or plastic will benefit from the two-flute geometry and polished flute finish. Shops cutting steel, titanium or hardened alloys need a different substrate and coating. Buyers who require a coated tool for abrasive composites should look at alternatives. This item carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm.
Deciding specification: 16.0 mm cutting diameter
The 16.0 mm cutting diameter determines whether this end mill fits the programmed tool path and workpiece allowance. Verify the required diameter against your CAM setup before ordering. The necked design adds reach without reducing the shank diameter. Match this dimension exactly to avoid collisions or undersized features.

Questions about this item
How often will the 16.0 mm necked flute need resharpening or replacement?
Resharpening intervals depend on the material being cut and the feed rates used; inspect the flutes regularly for wear or chipping and regrind when cutting performance drops.
What is the first limitation reached during prolonged milling with this 2-flute end mill?
Heat buildup in the cutting zone typically limits sustained use before tool deflection or chip evacuation becomes critical.
How much noise and heat does the 13562909N3 generate during all-day operation?
Noise and heat levels are dictated by the machine spindle speed, coolant strategy and workpiece material rather than by the tool itself.
