20.0 mm Neck End Mill
The M.A. Ford 13578701N5 Tuffcut Al is a 2 flute necked end mill with a 20.0 mm diameter. It is designed for aluminium milling operations where extended reach is required. The necked profile allows deeper cavity access without shank interference.
Machinists Cutting Aluminium
This tool suits CNC operators and manual machinists producing aluminium parts that need deep pockets or tall walls. The two flute geometry provides high chip clearance for non-ferrous materials. Buyers needing to cut steel, titanium or hardened alloys should select a different substrate and coating.
Standard Shank Mounting
The cutter fits standard tool holders matching its shank diameter for quick installation. Secure clamping prevents runout and vibration during high speed aluminium cuts. The most common issue is insufficient holder grip or excessive stick out causing chatter and poor surface finish.

Questions about this item
What machine interface does this 20.0 mm necked end mill require to be held securely?
It needs a tool holder or collet that accepts a 20.0 mm shank, so the spindle or turret on your CNC mill or router must match that diameter.
How does the necked geometry affect reach when machining deep pockets alongside standard-length tools?
The reduced-diameter neck provides extra clearance, letting the flutes cut deeper without the shank or holder contacting the workpiece walls.
How can I verify the cutter is performing as intended after the first pass?
Check for a smooth surface finish, consistent chip evacuation and no chatter marks; the two-flute design should leave clean aluminium edges when speeds and feeds are correct.
