M.A. Ford 13570871N End Mill
The M.A. Ford 13570871N is a new 18.0 mm necked end mill designed for milling operations. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a two-flute cutting tool for aluminium workpieces. The TuffCut Al designation indicates optimisation for non-ferrous material removal. This cutting tool arrives in new condition ready for workshop use.
18.0 mm capacity with necked reach
The 18.0 mm cutting diameter provides substantial material engagement for slotting and profiling tasks. Two flutes create large chip gullets that evacuate aluminium swarf efficiently at high feed rates. The necked shank extends reach into deep cavities without shank interference. Cutting performance tapers when radial engagement exceeds stable chip-load limits for the specific machine rigidity.
Fits standard tool holders for CNC milling
The cutter shank mounts directly into ER collets, shrink-fit holders or hydraulic chucks matching the shank diameter. No proprietary interface or special adaptor is required for integration. The necked profile frees clearance around deep part walls and fixture clamps during multi-axis toolpaths. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the tool substrate or coating.

Questions about this item
Will the 18.0 mm necked shank fit the tool holders I already use for smaller end mills?
The necked design on this 18.0 mm cutter is meant to provide clearance in deeper pockets; you will need a holder or collet that accepts an 18.0 mm shank diameter.
How can I confirm the TuffCut AL geometry is performing correctly after installation?
Run a test cut in aluminium — smooth chip evacuation, minimal built-up edge and consistent surface finish indicate the two-flute design is working as intended.
Does the 13570871N package include any collets, wrenches or coolant accessories?
The box contains only the single 2-flute necked end mill; collets, tool holders and any coolant fittings must be purchased separately.
