Tool Purpose
The M.A. Ford 13678740 is a 20.0 mm diameter end mill finisher designed for aluminium machining. Its two-flute geometry suits workshops and production cells that need clean surface finishes on non-ferrous workpieces.
Upgrade Context
The cutter replaces worn or single-flute tools that leave rough walls or chatter marks on aluminium parts. The step up is justified when cycle time and finish quality must improve without changing the machine spindle interface.
Build Fitment
The shank fits standard ER collets or Weldon holders used on CNC milling centres. No proprietary holders are required, freeing tool-changer slots for other operations. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to dust or fumes generated during cutting.

Questions about this item
What size collet or holder does the 20.0 mm shank require?
The cutter has a 20.0 mm shank, so it needs a matching 20.0 mm collet, hydraulic holder or shrink-fit chuck rated for that diameter.
How do I install the Tuffcut Al 2 flute end mill without damaging the flutes?
Clean the shank and holder bore, insert the tool to the recommended gauge length, then tighten the collet nut or holder evenly — do not tap the flutes with a hammer.
When should I replace the 13678740 finisher based on wear?
Replace it when flank wear reaches the toolmaker’s limit, when edge chipping appears on the aluminium-cutting flutes, or when surface finish on the workpiece degrades.
