Precision end mill for detailed milling
The M.A. Ford 15609373A is a new two-flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and 3/32 diameter. It belongs to the Tuffcut DM range of cutting tools built for precision work. Machinists use it for contouring and finishing operations in a variety of materials.
Suited for tight profiles not for heavy roughing
This tool suits CNC operators who need reach in deep cavities and a smooth radius finish. The necked shank provides clearance for intricate 3D profiles. Buyers who need high material removal rates or larger diameter tools should look at something else.
Two-flute ball nose geometry
The defining specification is the two-flute ball nose profile combined with a necked body. This geometry determines chip evacuation, surface finish and access in confined areas. Verify that your holder and tool path match the 3/32 size before purchase.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the 15609373A end mill use, and what collet size does that require?
The shank is 3/32 in, so use a matching 3/32 in collet or an ER collet that closes to that diameter.
What minimum holder length and clearance does the necked design need?
The necked body requires a holder deep enough to clear the reduced diameter behind the flutes; check the tool’s overall length against your spindle gauge line.
What is the correct tightening sequence to avoid run-out on this carbide tool?
Clean the collet and shank, insert the tool to the recommended depth, then tighten the collet nut evenly in a star pattern.
