Product Identity
The M.A. Ford 156M0200N8A is a 2.0 mm two-flute ball-nose end mill with a necked design. It suits machinists and hobbyists who need precise contouring in tight cavities or complex profiles. The TuffCut DM construction targets demanding milling tasks where tool rigidity and reach are critical.
Build Integration
This cutter fits standard ER collets or shrink-fit holders that accept a 2.0 mm shank. Its necked geometry clears deep features without shank interference, freeing the spindle to reach recessed areas. No special coolant system is required, though flood or mist delivery helps chip evacuation in sticky materials.
Accessory Impact
The tool ships as a single cutter with no coating service, software licence or holder included. California Proposition 65 notices flag chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm, so operators must follow shop safety protocols. Orders over 75 ship free from the manufacturer, but that is a fulfilment detail, not a product attribute.

Questions about this item
How long does the 2.0 mm cutting diameter stay within tolerance during continuous milling?
The 2.0 mm diameter is ground to a tight tolerance for consistent performance, but tool life depends on workpiece material, coolant use and feed rates rather than a fixed runtime limit.
What heat or vibration should I expect when running this end mill all day?
The two-flute ball-nose design with neck relief reduces chatter and heat build-up in deep pockets, yet sustained temperature still varies with spindle speed and material hardness.
Which tool holder fits the shank of this M.A. Ford end mill?
The cutter uses a standard cylindrical shank, so any ER collet, shrink-fit holder or Weldon flat holder matching that shank diameter will secure it.
