Precision milling tool
The M.A. Ford 156M0200N20A is a 2.0mm ball nose end mill with a 2-flute necked design from the Tuffcut range. It is intended for machinists who need accurate contouring and profiling in a variety of materials. The carbide construction supports consistent performance in detailed milling operations. This tool suits workshops focused on precision finishing work.
Specialist application fit
This end mill suits CNC operators producing complex 3D surfaces, mould cavities or rounded profiles where a ball nose geometry is required. The necked shank provides reach for deeper features without interference. Buyers who need larger diameters or different flute counts for heavy material removal should look at alternative tooling. It is not a general-purpose drill or roughing cutter.
Diameter determines suitability
The 2.0mm cutting diameter is the critical specification that decides if this tool matches the programmed toolpath and feature size. Verify the radius requirement against the CAD model before ordering. The necked length and shank dimensions must also clear the workpiece fixtures. Select this part only when the design calls for this exact diameter.

Questions about this item
How fast does the 2.0 mm necked flute wear under continuous cutting?
The 2.0 mm ball nose with two flutes is designed for sustained milling; wear rate depends on feed, speed and workpiece material rather than a fixed limit.
What heat or vibration level should I expect during an all-day run?
Heat and vibration stay manageable when speeds match the 2.0 mm diameter; use coolant and rigid holding to keep both low during extended sessions.
Which tool holder or collet do I need for the 2.0 mm shank?
A holder or collet that grips a 2.0 mm shank — such as an ER collet or shrink-fit sleeve sized for 2.0 mm — is required before use.
