Product Identity
The M.A. Ford 15603940A Tuffcut Dm is a 2 flute ball nose end mill with a 1.0mm cutting diameter. It is intended for machinists and engineers performing precision milling operations on various materials. This new cutting tool carries the manufacturer part number 15603940A for accurate identification and reordering.
Installation Notes
The shank fits standard ER collets or Weldon holders matching the tool diameter. Ensure the holder and collet are clean and free of debris before clamping to prevent runout. Over-tightening or using worn collets can damage the shank and lead to premature tool failure or poor surface finish on the workpiece.
Pre-Purchase Checks
Verify your machine spindle accepts tooling with a 1.0mm shank diameter and that the required reach suits your application. Confirm the workpiece material is compatible with the Tuffcut Dm coating and geometry. Note the California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 1.0 mm Tuffcut DM end mill is cutting correctly after installation?
Check that the 2 flute ball nose produces a smooth finish and consistent chip load in your material; measure the cut diameter to verify it matches the 1.0 mm specification.
What comes in the package and what must I supply separately?
The box contains the single 15603940A end mill; you will need a compatible tool holder, collet or shrink-fit chuck and appropriate coolant or lubrication for the job.
When should I choose the 1.0 mm 2 flute ball nose version over other sizes?
Select this 1.0 mm diameter when your design calls for fine detail radii or shallow contouring in tight corners that a larger cutter cannot reach.
