1.0 mm Ball Nose End Mill
This M.A. Ford 156M0100N6A is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and a 1.0 mm cutting diameter. It is intended for precision milling operations where a rounded profile is required. The tool suits machinists and engineers working on detailed contouring or finishing passes in a variety of materials.
Practical Limits of the Cutting Tool
The necked geometry provides extended reach for deeper cavities, yet the 1.0 mm diameter restricts material removal rates and limits the tool to light finishing cuts. Rigidity decreases with projection length, so vibration control becomes critical at higher speeds. This cutter is not suited for heavy roughing or wide slotting tasks.
California Proposition 65 Compliance
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Buyers must follow safe handling practices, including dust extraction and personal protective equipment, to minimise exposure during machining operations.
