M.A. Ford 13637500 Tuffcut Al End Mill Finisher 3/8
This M.A. Ford end mill is a two-flute finishing tool designed for aluminium machining. It serves machinists and fabricators who need clean surface finishes on non-ferrous materials. The cutter is supplied new and carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.
Two-flute geometry for aluminium finishing
The two-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in soft alloys, reducing built-up edge and improving surface quality. It requires a compatible tool holder and a machine spindle capable of the speeds aluminium demands. The design frees up chip space in deep slots or pockets where evacuation is critical.
Sustained cutting in non-ferrous materials
Under continuous engagement the flute geometry maintains consistent chip flow, limiting heat buildup in the workpiece and tool. This stability supports extended finishing passes without the surface degradation that can occur when chips re-cut. The tool is not suited for ferrous alloys or high-temperature superalloys.

Questions about this item
How long will the 3/8 inch finisher hold its edge in aluminium?
The two-flute Tuffcut Al geometry is designed for high-shear finishing cuts in non-ferrous material, extending edge life under recommended feeds.
Does the cutter generate noticeable heat or vibration during extended profiling?
Polished flutes and a sharp relief angle reduce friction, keeping temperatures low and vibration minimal in sustained aluminium passes.
What shank size and holder style does the 13637500 require?
The tool uses a standard 3/8 inch round shank, so it fits any ER collet, Weldon flat holder or shrink-fit chuck sized for that diameter.
