End mill for precision milling
The M.A. Ford 156M0300N35A is a 3.0 mm diameter ball nose end mill with a two-flute design and a necked shank. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need smooth contouring and profiling in a variety of workpiece materials.
Verify toolholder and machine clearance
Confirm that your spindle or collet system accepts a 3.0 mm shank and that the necked profile provides sufficient reach for your fixture. Ensure the tool path accounts for the ball nose geometry to achieve the desired surface finish.
Sustained cutting with proper parameters
Under continuous operation the two-flute design evacuates chips efficiently when feed and speed rates are matched to the material. Consistent coolant or air blast helps manage heat buildup during extended profiling passes.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the M.A. Ford 156M0300N35A end mill and do I need to buy a holder separately?
The package contains the 3.0 mm diameter, 2 flute ball nose end mill with a necked shank; a compatible tool holder or collet is not included and must be sourced separately.
How do I choose between the different versions of this Tuffcut DM cutter?
The part number 156M0300N35A identifies a single 3.0 mm diameter, 2 flute ball nose geometry; no alternative diameters or flute counts are listed for this SKU.
What does the 35° helix angle mean for machining performance in my CNC?
The 35° helix provides a balance of shearing action and edge strength, giving smoother finishes in steels and hardened alloys while maintaining chip evacuation in slotting and profiling passes.
