Precision Milling Tool
The M.A. Ford 156M0160N20A is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a 1.6 mm cutting diameter and a necked design. It is intended for precision contouring and profiling in CNC machining applications where tight radii are required.
Machinists Seeking Fine Detail
This cutter suits machinists producing intricate 3D contours, mould cavities or finishing passes in metals and plastics. It is not for buyers who need larger material removal rates or tools capable of heavy roughing passes in a single operation.
Sustained Cutting Behaviour
The necked geometry provides extended reach while maintaining rigidity during longer tool paths. Under continuous load the two-flute design evacuates chips efficiently, reducing heat buildup and helping preserve edge integrity over extended machining cycles.

Questions about this item
What milling machine or router is needed to hold the 1.6 mm shank of this M.A. Ford 156M0160N20A end mill?
Use a CNC milling machine or high-precision router equipped with a collet or chuck that accepts a 1.6 mm shank diameter.
Can the 2-flute ball nose geometry cut the same materials as an older 4-flute end mill I already own?
The 2-flute ball nose design clears chips faster in softer materials like aluminium or plastic, while a 4-flute tool typically leaves a finer finish in harder steels.
How do I verify the Tuffcut 156M0160N20A is performing correctly after the first pass?
Check for a smooth, radius-matched contour without chatter marks, measure the cut depth against the programmed value, and confirm chip evacuation is consistent.
