M.A. Ford 1.0 mm Ball Nose End Mill
This M.A. Ford Tuffcut end mill has a 1.0 mm diameter ball nose with a necked design. It is a two-flute cutting tool intended for precision milling tasks. The tool suits machinists and hobbyists who need fine contouring capability. It is supplied new and carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.
Two-flute necked geometry for controlled reach
The 1.0 mm diameter and two-flute layout give room for chip evacuation in shallow pockets. The necked shank allows access to deeper features without shank interference. Cutting depth is limited by the small 1.0 mm diameter and flute length. Heavy material removal or wide slotting will exceed the tool’s capacity quickly.
Solid carbide construction manages heat in light
The carbide body resists deflection and dissipates heat during light profiling passes. No coolant-through feature is present so external flood or mist is needed for sustained work. Power draw stays low on small hobby or benchtop machines. Excessive feed or depth will generate heat and vibration that the small diameter cannot absorb.
Highlights
- Precise profiling with 1.0 mm ball nose

Questions about this item
Will the 1.0 mm necked shank clear the tool holder on my older CNC router?
The 1.0 mm necked shank is designed for reach in deep cavities; verify your holder’s minimum clamping diameter and clearance before use.
How can I confirm the 2 flute ball nose is cutting correctly after installation?
Run a test pocket in soft material and check for smooth hemispherical finish, even flank wear on both flutes, and no chatter marks.
Does the box include any collets or tool-length probes for the 1.0 mm end mill?
The package contains only the single 1.0 mm ball nose end mill; collets, probes and holders are sold separately.
