Precision aluminium milling cutter
The M.A. Ford 13570872N Tuffcut Al is a two-flute solid carbide end mill with a necked 18.0 mm diameter. It is engineered for high-speed profiling and slotting in aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys where chip evacuation and surface finish are critical. The tool suits CNC operators and job shops that need reliable material removal rates on softer metals.
Check machine and holder compatibility
Verify that your spindle accepts an 18.0 mm shank and that the available gauge length clears the necked section without interference. Confirm the tool holder provides sufficient clamping force for solid carbide at elevated speeds. Ensure your coolant or mist delivery can reach the cutting zone to prevent built-up edge on aluminium.
Sustained cutting performance
The two-flute geometry and polished flutes maintain consistent chip flow during extended passes, reducing the risk of re-cutting and thermal buildup. Necked relief allows deeper axial engagement without shank contact, preserving dimensional accuracy over long production runs. Carbide substrate resists wear when feed rates are kept stable under continuous load.
