Precision aluminium finishing cutter
The M.A. Ford 13612502 is a two-flute end mill finisher designed for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. Its geometry produces clean surface finishes in profiling and light finishing passes. Machinists and fabricators working on small features will find the 1/8 size suited to detailed work.
Optimised for light finishing passes
The two-flute design provides generous chip clearance for aluminium alloys, reducing built-up edge on shallow radial cuts. It runs out when material removal rates increase or when cutting harder steels, where flute count and substrate limit tool life. The 1/8 diameter restricts depth of cut in a single pass.
Runs cool with minimal deflection
Sharp cutting edges and polished flutes lower cutting forces, keeping spindle load and heat generation low during normal finishing passes. Vibration stays minimal in rigid setups, so noise remains at typical spindle levels. No special coolant strategy is required beyond standard flood or mist for aluminium.

Questions about this item
Will this 13612502 end mill fit in the same collet I use for my other 1/8 tools?
The 1/8 shank matches standard 1/8 collets, so it will seat in the holders you already keep for that size.
How can I confirm the Tuffcut Al 2 flute is cutting cleanly after I install it?
A smooth finish on aluminium with no chatter marks shows the two-flute geometry is performing as designed.
Does the 13612502 come with any holder, coating sample or extra flutes in the package?
The box contains only the single end mill; collets, holders or spare cutters must be sourced separately.
