Precision Milling Cutter
The M.A. Ford 156M0200N16A Tuffcut DM is a 2.0mm diameter ball nose end mill with two flutes and a necked design. It is intended for contouring and profiling operations in a variety of materials where precise radius control is required. The tool arrives new and ready for immediate use in CNC machining centres or manual milling machines.
Best For Detailed Contour Work
This cutter suits machinists and engineers producing complex 3D surfaces, mould cavities or intricate profiles that demand a small ball radius. Buyers needing larger diameter tools for heavy material removal or roughing passes should look elsewhere, as this model is optimised for fine finishing and detailed geometry rather than high-volume stock removal.
2.0mm Ball Nose Diameter
The 2.0mm cutting diameter is the critical specification that determines reach and feature resolution. It defines the minimum internal corner radius achievable and directly governs the stepover distance for surface finish quality. Verify this dimension matches your CAD CAM toolpath requirements before ordering.
Highlights
- Precision ball nose for smooth contours
- Two-flute design clears chips efficiently
- Necked shank reaches deep cavities
- 0 mm diameter suits fine detail work
- TuffCut DM coating resists wear longer

Questions about this item
Does the 2.0 mm Tuffcut DM end mill generate noticeable heat or noise during continuous cutting?
It is a solid-carbide rotary cutter with no motor or fan, so it produces no electrical noise and only the heat created by the machining process itself.
What tool holder or machine spindle is required to run this 2-flute ball-nose cutter?
The shank fits standard ER collets or shrink-fit holders matched to your CNC milling machine or router spindle.
Will this necked 2 mm end mill work in an older CNC mill that uses imperial tooling?
The cutter is metric; you need a metric collet or an adapter sleeve to secure it in an imperial spindle.
