Precision End Mill for Fine Detail Work
The M.A. Ford 156M0100N3A Tuffcut Dm is a 2-flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and a 1.0 mm cutting diameter. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need precise contouring and profiling in tight spaces. The tool suits applications requiring high accuracy in small-scale milling operations.
Capacity and Headroom in Milling Tasks
The 1.0 mm diameter provides the reach and finesse needed for intricate cavities and detailed finishing passes. It handles light to medium material removal in softer alloys and non-ferrous metals effectively. The necked shank allows deeper access without interference, though the small diameter limits chip clearance and feed rates in heavier cuts.
Interface and Operational Limits
The tool uses a standard shank interface compatible with common collets and holders for 1.0 mm shanks. Performance is constrained by the 2-flute geometry, which balances chip evacuation and strength for the given diameter. California Proposition 65 warnings apply, indicating the presence of chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Will the 1.0 mm necked ball-nose profile clear fixtures designed for standard 2 flute end mills?
The necked 2 flute ball-nose geometry matches common holder clearances, so it fits existing collets and tool changers without modification.
How can I verify the cutter is running true after installation?
Check for concentric rotation at the 1.0 mm tip using a dial indicator; minimal run-out confirms correct seating.
Does the package include tool holders or only the end mill?
Only the single 1.0 mm Tuffcut Dm end mill is supplied; holders, collets and coolant accessories are separate purchases.
