Precision Cutting Tool
The M.A. Ford 156M0140N12A Tuffcut is a 2 flute ball nose end mill with a 1.4mm diameter. It is designed for machinists and engineers who require precise contouring and profiling in a variety of materials. The necked design provides extended reach for deep cavity work.
Necked Geometry Benefits
The necked shank allows the tool to reach deeper features without interference from the holder. This geometry improves rigidity during side milling operations and reduces deflection. The 2 flute configuration balances chip evacuation with core strength for smoother finishes.
Installation And Use
The tool fits standard ER collets or Weldon holders matching the shank diameter. Proper clamping length is critical to prevent vibration and tool breakage. Users must verify coolant delivery and speed parameters for the specific workpiece material to avoid premature wear.

Questions about this item
How often will the 1.4 mm ball nose need resharpening or replacement?
The solid-carbide TuffCut DM end mill keeps its edge through repeated profiling passes; resharpening is only required when flank wear reaches the cutter diameter limit.
What limits continuous cutting with the 156M0140N12A?
Chip evacuation in the necked section becomes the first constraint during deep pocketing at sustained feed rates.
How much heat and noise does the 1.4 mm cutter generate in all-day CNC runs?
The small diameter and two-flute design produce low cutting forces, keeping spindle load and audible noise minimal during extended operation.
