M.A. Ford 135B50001N End Mill 1/2
This is a new cutting tool from M.A. Ford designed for milling operations. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a 2 flute necked end mill for aluminium work. The tool is supplied as a single component for use in compatible milling machines or CNC equipment.
Tuffcut Al 2 Flute Necked Geometry
The defining specification is the Tuffcut Al 2 flute necked design which determines material compatibility and chip evacuation. This geometry targets aluminium and non-ferrous alloys where the flute count and neck relief affect performance. Buyers needing different flute counts or coatings for steel or titanium should select another tool.
California Proposition 65 Chemical Notice
The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. This regulatory label does not change the tool’s cutting function but requires safe handling practices such as dust control and protective equipment. No accessories or software are included with this end mill.

Questions about this item
How does the 1/2 inch diameter perform in an actual milling setup?
The 1/2 inch cutting diameter determines the width of material removed per pass, so it suits medium-duty aluminium profiling and slotting on a standard CNC or manual mill.
What shank interface does the 135B50001N use and what does that limit?
It uses a standard cylindrical shank matching the 1/2 inch diameter, so it fits any 1/2 inch collet or end-mill holder but cannot be used in smaller toolholders.
What physical clearance does the necked design need to fit in the workpiece?
The necked portion provides extra reach behind the flutes, allowing the tool to clear fixturing or deep pockets without the shank contacting the workpiece walls.
