1.0 mm ball nose end mill
The M.A. Ford 15603945A Tuffcut DM is a 2 flute ball nose end mill with a 1.0 mm cutting diameter and necked design. It is manufactured by M.A. Ford for precision milling applications requiring a rounded profile. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Verify shank compatibility and workpiece material
Before ordering, confirm that your machine spindle or collet system accepts the shank diameter of this end mill. Ensure the necked length provides sufficient reach for your specific cavity depth. Check that the carbide substrate and geometry are suitable for the hardness and abrasiveness of the material you intend to cut.
Requires rigid toolholding and appropriate coolant
This end mill needs a rigid toolholder to minimise runout and vibration during operation. Adequate coolant or air blast is necessary to evacuate chips from the flutes and the necked area. Proper speeds and feeds free up machining time and extend tool life in profiling and finishing passes.
