M.A. Ford 13662990 End Mill Finisher
The M.A. Ford 13662990 is a Tuffcut Al 2 flute end mill finisher with a 16.0 mm cutting diameter. It is designed for machinists and fabricators who need precise finishing passes in aluminium and non-ferrous materials. The two-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation during high-speed operations. This cutting tool suits both CNC and manual milling setups.
Thermals noise and power draw
As a solid carbide rotary cutter, this end mill generates heat only through friction at the cutting interface. It has no motor, fan or electrical circuit, so it produces zero electrical power draw and no operational noise of its own. Thermal management depends entirely on the machine spindle coolant or air blast system used during milling. Proper feed rates minimise excess heat buildup in the workpiece.
California Proposition 65 warning
The manufacturer advises that this product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. The notice is a regulatory label requirement and does not describe a functional accessory or software bundle. Users should follow standard workshop hygiene such as washing hands after handling and using dust collection when machining. No additional items are included in the packaging.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 16.0 mm shank end mill in my tool holder and what step is often missed?
Insert the 16.0 mm shank fully into a matching collet or hydraulic holder, then tighten to the holder’s specified torque; the step often missed is verifying the tool runs true with a dial indicator before cutting.
What maintenance or replacement will the TuffCut AL 2 flute finisher need over time?
The solid carbide flutes will dull with use; plan to re-sharpen or replace the cutter once flank wear reaches the manufacturer’s wear limit for aluminium finishing.
What limit appears first on the 13662990 during sustained aluminium finishing cuts?
The two-flute geometry limits chip evacuation at high feed rates, so chip packing in deep slots becomes the first constraint before tool deflection or heat build-up.
