M.A. Ford 135B43750 End Mill
The M.A. Ford 135B43750 is a Tuffcut Al two-flute end mill sized at 7/16. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated aluminium cutter. The tool carries the manufacturer part number 135B43750 for easy reordering. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
Sustained Cutting Behaviour
The two-flute geometry provides generous chip space for aluminium alloys during extended passes. This design reduces the tendency for chips to weld or pack in deep slots. Heat evacuation remains consistent when feed rates are maintained. The cutter is supplied new and ready for production use.
Build Quality and Shank Implications
The solid carbide body resists deflection when the tool is fully engaged in a holder. A standard cylindrical shank fits common collets and end-mill holders without adapters. The Tuffcut Al coating lowers friction during long runs. No additional mounting hardware is included with the cutter.

Questions about this item
Does the 2-flute Tuffcut Al end mill generate noticeable vibration or heat during extended aluminium cuts?
The two-flute geometry and polished flutes are designed for efficient chip evacuation in aluminium, which helps keep cutting temperatures lower and reduces chatter during long machining sessions.
What tool-holding system do I need to run the 7/16-inch shank on my CNC mill?
You will need a collet, end-mill holder or shrink-fit chuck that accepts a 7/16-inch diameter shank; the shank is plain round with no flats or whistle-notch features.
Can I use this carbide end mill in the same job as older high-speed-steel roughers without changing spindle speed?
Carbide allows significantly higher surface speeds than HSS, so you should recalculate feeds and speeds for the 135B43750 rather than matching the slower parameters used for your legacy roughers.
