1/8" Tuffcut Al End Mill Finisher
The M.A. Ford 13612500 is a two-flute carbide end mill designed for finishing aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. It suits CNC machinists and fabricators who need clean surface finishes on small features. Buyers who need a roughing tool or a cutter for hardened steel should look elsewhere.
Thermals noise and power draw
As a passive cutting tool it generates no operational noise and draws no electrical power itself. Heat is produced only at the cutting interface and is managed through the machine spindle coolant system. The tool body remains at ambient temperature when not engaged in a cut.
Sustained load behaviour
During extended profiling or slotting passes the two-flute geometry maintains consistent chip evacuation in aluminium alloys. Carbide construction resists wear so dimensional accuracy holds over long production runs. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the product.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 13612500 end mill in my tool holder?
Secure the 1/8 shank fully in a matching collet or holder and tighten to the manufacturer's torque specification; the step often missed is verifying concentricity with a dial indicator before cutting.
What maintenance or replacement will the 13612500 finisher need over time?
Inspect the two flutes for wear or chipping after each job; replace the tool when edge radius increases or surface finish degrades beyond tolerance.
What limit appears first on the 13612500 during sustained aluminium milling?
Heat buildup at the cutting edges typically limits continuous feed rates before tool deflection becomes critical.
