Cutting Tool for Aluminium
The M.A. Ford 135B12500 Tuffcut Al end mill is a two-flute cutter designed for aluminium work. Machinists and fabricators use it for slotting and profiling in non-ferrous materials. The 1/8 inch diameter suits detailed milling operations. Buyers needing larger diameters or different flute counts cannot use this specific tool.
Installation and Common Issues
The cutter fits standard collets or holders matching its shank size. Secure clamping prevents runout and vibration during cuts. Incorrect speeds or feeds often cause built-up edge on aluminium. Insufficient coolant or chip evacuation leads to poor finish and tool wear.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The two-flute design allows large chip gullets for continuous evacuation in long cuts. Carbide construction maintains edge hardness at elevated temperatures. Consistent feed rates prevent rubbing and heat buildup over time. The tool resists deflection in deep slots when parameters are correct.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the M.A. Ford 135B12500 Tuffcut Al end mill is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for smooth chip evacuation and a consistent surface finish on the aluminium workpiece; the two-flute design should produce clean slots without chatter when run at recommended speeds.
What comes with the 135B12500 end mill and what must I supply separately?
The box contains the 1/8-inch diameter, two-flute solid carbide cutter only; you must provide a compatible tool holder, collet or shrink-fit chuck and cutting fluid suitable for aluminium.
Which version of the Tuffcut Al series should I choose for general-purpose aluminium milling?
Select the 135B12500 model when you need a 1/8-inch, two-flute geometry optimised for high-speed aluminium profiling and slotting.
