M.A. Ford 1.2 mm Ball Nose End Mill
This M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM end mill has a 1.2 mm ball nose and a two-flute necked design for precise contouring work. It is a new cutting tool supplied directly from the manufacturer for metalworking applications.
Machinists needing a small-radius ball nose
The tool suits CNC operators finishing complex 3D surfaces or tight internal radii in mould and die work. Buyers who need a larger cutting diameter or a higher flute count for heavy material removal should consider other options.
1.2 mm ball nose diameter
The 1.2 mm ball nose radius is the critical dimension that determines the minimum feature size and surface finish achievable. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains listed chemicals.
Highlights
- 2-flute ball nose for smooth contouring
- 2 mm cutting diameter for fine detail
- Necked design improves reach in deep cavities
- TuffCut DM coating extends tool life
- California Prop 65 chemical warning applies

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 1.2 mm Tuffcut DM end mill generate when running all day in a CNC router?
The carbide tool produces heat proportional to feed rate and spindle speed; use coolant or air blast to manage temperature during extended cuts.
What shank size must my collet or tool holder accept for this 1.2 mm ball nose cutter?
The necked 2-flute end mill has a standard shank that fits common 3 mm or 1/8 inch ER collets; verify your holder’s clamping range before ordering.
Will the 156M0120N12A work reliably on an older CNC machine with higher spindle run-out?
The necked design reduces deflection, but consistent results still need a spindle with low run-out; check your machine’s specification before cutting.
