Precision Carbide End Mill
The M.A. Ford 15611812A is a 3.0 mm diameter solid carbide end mill designed for precision milling. Its two-flute ball nose geometry and necked shank provide clearance for deep cavity work. The tool suits machinists and CNC operators producing contoured surfaces or complex 3D profiles in a variety of materials.
Suited For Detailed Milling
This cutter serves users who need a small-diameter ball nose tool for finishing passes or intricate contouring. The necked design helps reach recessed features without shank interference. Buyers requiring higher flute counts for faster roughing or larger diameters for heavy material removal should look at alternative tooling.
Check Holder And Machine Compatibility
Verify that your tool holder accepts a 3.0 mm shank and that your machine spindle provides sufficient runout control for carbide tooling. Confirm the workpiece material and coolant strategy match the capabilities of uncoated carbide. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item
What machine spindle or collet do I need to hold the 3.0 mm shank of this M.A. Ford 15611812A end mill?
A 3.0 mm ER collet, Weldon flat holder or shrink-fit chuck that matches your machine's spindle taper will secure the shank.
Can I run this 2-flute ball-nose cutter on an older manual knee mill as well as a modern CNC?
Yes — the geometry works on any rigid spindle that can maintain the recommended speed and feed for the material.
How do I verify the TuffCut DM coating is performing correctly after the first cuts?
Look for consistent chip colour, minimal built-up edge on the flutes and the expected surface finish on the workpiece.
