Precision milling tool
The M.A. Ford 156M0100N4A is a 1.0 mm ball nose end mill designed for detailed contouring and finishing passes in CNC machining. It suits engineers and machinists producing complex 3D profiles or mould cavities. The two-flute necked geometry provides reach into deep features without shank interference. This item is new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
1.0 mm cutting diameter
The single specification that determines fit is the 1.0 mm ball nose diameter, which sets the minimum radius this tool can generate. The TuffCut DM coating and two-flute design support higher feed rates in hardened steels and exotic alloys. Buyers who need a larger radius or a flat-bottom profile cannot use this cutter. Orders of $75 or more qualify for free shipping from the supplier.
Simple collet installation
The shank fits standard ER collets or shrink-fit holders, so setup follows normal tool-change procedure. Runout should be checked after clamping because the small 1.0 mm diameter amplifies any eccentricity. The California Proposition 65 notice indicates the coating contains a listed chemical, so gloves and ventilation are recommended during handling. No special break-in routine is required.

Questions about this item
What does the 1.0 mm ball nose diameter mean for detail work in a CNC machine?
The 1.0 mm ball nose produces a fine radius suited to detailed 3D contours and finishing passes on small features.
What shank interface does the 156M0100N4A use and what does that limit?
The end mill uses a standard shank for collet or chuck holders; the necked design extends reach without increasing shank diameter.
What physical clearance does the necked 1.0 mm tool need to fit in a holder?
The reduced neck behind the flutes allows the cutter to reach deeper cavities while the shank remains clamped normally.
