Product Identity
The M.A. Ford 13612504 is a new two-flute end mill finisher intended for aluminium machining. It serves CNC operators and metalwork shops that need a dedicated finishing tool for non-ferrous workpieces. Buyers who require a roughing geometry or a cutter for hardened steel will not be served by this item.
Thermals Noise Power
As a rotary cutting tool, the end mill generates heat and sound only through contact with the workpiece and spindle. No independent thermal rating, noise specification or electrical power draw is supplied for the cutter itself. Operators must manage coolant and speeds according to their machine and material.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous cutting the tool relies on its two-flute design to evacuate chips and limit built-up edge in aluminium. The supplier notes a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm, so prolonged exposure to dust or coolant residue demands appropriate protective measures.

Questions about this item
How do you install the 13612504 end mill in a milling machine?
Secure the 1/8 shank in a matching collet or end-mill holder, tighten to the machine maker's torque spec, and verify zero run-out before cutting.
What maintenance does the 13612504 cutter need over time?
Inspect the two flutes after each job, resharpen or replace when edges dull, and keep the tool clean and dry to avoid corrosion.
What limit appears first when running the 13612504 continuously in aluminium?
Heat build-up in the uncoated carbide body limits sustained feed rates before the flutes lose their edge.
