Precision milling tool

The M.A. Ford 156M0160N8A is a 1.6 mm diameter ball nose end mill with a two-flute necked design. It is intended for machinists and engineers who need precise contouring and finishing in CNC applications. The Tuffcut DM series targets professionals working with demanding materials.

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. Users must follow safe handling practices and consult the safety data sheet. The warning applies to the tool as supplied by the manufacturer.

Small-diameter necked geometry

The 1.6 mm cutting diameter suits fine detail work and tight internal radii where larger tools cannot reach. The necked profile provides clearance for deeper pockets without shank interference. Two flutes limit chip evacuation volume in heavy roughing passes.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1.6 mm diameter or a different size for my job?

The 1.6 mm cutting diameter suits fine-detail profiling; choose a larger size only when the feature geometry allows a wider tool path.

What does the 1.6 mm ball-nose diameter mean when the tool is in the spindle?

It sets the minimum corner radius you can mill and determines the step-over needed for a smooth 3-D surface finish.

How does the necked shank affect reach and rigidity in the machine?

The necked design extends reach into deep cavities while keeping the shank diameter intact for maximum holder grip and reduced deflection.
