Precision milling cutter
The M.A. Ford 15607872A is a 2.0 mm ball nose end mill designed for detailed contouring and finishing work in metal and composite materials. Its two-flute geometry and necked profile suit machinists who need reach into deep cavities without sacrificing rigidity. The TuffCut DM designation indicates a substrate and coating combination built for extended tool life in abrasive alloys.
Solid carbide construction
A solid carbide body gives the cutter high hardness and heat resistance, allowing consistent performance at elevated cutting speeds. The necked shank provides clearance for vertical walls while the standard shank diameter fits common ER collets and shrink-fit holders. No additional mounting hardware is required beyond a compatible tool holder.
California Proposition 65 notice
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. The warning applies to the tool as supplied and does not change the cutting parameters or material compatibility. Users should follow standard shop safety practices including dust extraction and personal protective equipment.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the 2.0 mm ball nose end mill need for a standard collet?
The 2.0 mm cutting diameter requires a matching 2.0 mm shank for direct clamping in a precision collet or shrink-fit holder.
What clearance does the necked design of the 15607872A provide for deep cavities?
The necked profile reduces shank interference, allowing the 2.0 mm ball nose to reach deeper pockets without the holder contacting the workpiece walls.
Which step is often missed when installing this TuffCut DM end mill in a tool holder?
Clean both the 2.0 mm shank and collet bore thoroughly, then torque the collet nut to the holder manufacturer's specification to prevent run-out.
