16.0 mm 2 Flute End Mill Necked
This 16.0 mm diameter end mill features a necked design with two cutting flutes from M.A. Ford. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need a tool for slotting, profiling or finishing operations in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials.
Installation and common issues
The tool mounts in a standard milling chuck or collet sized for its shank; ensure the holder is clean and the run-out is minimal before cutting. Problems usually arise from excessive feed rates, insufficient coolant or incorrect spindle speed, which can cause chatter, premature flank wear or breakage of the flutes.
Practical limits of the cutting interface
The necked geometry provides extra reach for deeper cavities but reduces the supported length of the flutes, so radial engagement must be kept conservative to avoid deflection. Aluminium alloys generate sticky chips that can weld to the cutting edges if lubrication is inadequate, limiting achievable surface finish and tool life in high-volume production.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 16.0 mm necked end mill is cutting correctly after setup?
Check for smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finish on the aluminium workpiece; the two-flute Tuffcut Al geometry should produce clean slots without chatter when feed and speed match the manufacturer's recommendations for 16.0 mm diameter.
What comes in the box with the M.A. Ford 13562991N and what must I supply separately?
The package contains the single 16.0 mm two-flute necked end mill; you must provide a compatible tool holder, coolant or mist system, and the CNC machine with appropriate spindle speed range for aluminium milling.
Which version of the Tuffcut Al necked end mill should I choose for my 16.0 mm aluminium milling job?
Select the 13562991N model — it is the 16.0 mm diameter, two-flute necked variant designed specifically for high-performance aluminium profiling and slotting operations.
