Purpose and Audience
The M.A. Ford 135B62501 Tuffcut Al end mill is a two-flute cutting tool intended for aluminium machining. It suits CNC operators and metalwork shops that need a dedicated geometry for non-ferrous material removal.
Bundled Items Impact
No accessories or software are included with this cutter. The purchase delivers only the end mill itself, so users must supply their own tool holders, coolant strategy and work-holding equipment.
Build and Connectivity
The tool carries a California Proposition 65 notice for substances linked to cancer and reproductive harm, requiring appropriate handling precautions. Its shank fits standard holders for 5/8 diameter tools, allowing direct mounting in compatible collets or shrink-fit systems.

Questions about this item
How often will the 2-flute Tuffcut Al end mill need resharpening when cutting aluminium?
Resharpening interval depends on the aluminium alloy, feed rate and coolant used; monitor flank wear and regrind once the edge radius reaches the shop's tolerance limit.
What stops the 135B62501 from running continuously in a high-speed aluminium job?
The practical limit is heat buildup in the carbide substrate; without adequate coolant flow the tool will lose hardness before the flutes wear out.
How loud and hot does the 5/8-inch end mill get during an all-day production run?
The cutter itself generates negligible noise; spindle and coolant pump dominate sound levels, while tool-body temperature stays near coolant temperature with proper flood cooling.
