20.0 mm ball nose end mill
This 20.0 mm diameter ball nose end mill from M.A. Ford is designed for general-purpose milling in a range of materials. The two-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation during contouring and profiling operations. It suits machinists and fabricators who need reliable performance for everyday cutting tasks.
Upgrade from smaller or worn tooling
Switching to this 20.0 mm tool increases material removal rate compared with smaller diameters and restores cut quality when existing end mills show flank wear or chipping. The jump is worth it when a job demands a single pass at this radius or when regrinding smaller cutters no longer holds tolerance.
Capacity and headroom
The 20.0 mm cut diameter handles medium-to-large radius profiles, pocket bottoms and 3-D contours in steel, aluminium and plastics. It runs out when the feature radius drops below the tool radius, when machine rigidity limits feed at this diameter, or when a higher flute count is required for finishing passes.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter fits the M.A. Ford 15078740A 20.0 mm ball nose end mill?
The cutter has a 20.0 mm cutting diameter; the shank size matches standard holders for that diameter.
Which step is often missed when installing this 2-flute end mill in a collet?
Clean the shank and collet bore completely, then tighten the collet nut to the holder's specified torque.
When should the 15078740A be replaced during production runs?
Replace it when flank wear reaches the toolmaker's limit or when surface finish degrades beyond tolerance.
