M.A. Ford 4.0 mm End Mill
The M.A. Ford 156M0400N10A is a 2 flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and a 4.0 mm cutting diameter. It is built for precision contouring and profiling in a range of materials. Machinists and fabricators select this tool when smooth radius finishes are required on CNC or manual milling machines.
Sustained Cutting Behaviour
The two flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation during extended passes, helping to maintain a consistent surface finish. Neck relief reduces interference when reaching into pockets or deep cavities. Steady feed rates and proper coolant use support tool life during long production runs.
Proposition 65 Compliance Limit
This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Users must follow local safety regulations and wear appropriate protective equipment when machining. The warning applies to the tool itself and any dust or fumes generated during cutting operations.

Questions about this item
How much vibration or heat does the 4.0 mm TuffCut DM end mill generate during extended cutting?
The solid-carbide 2-flute ball-nose design with a necked shank reduces chatter and runs cooler than standard tools, so day-long profiling stays smooth and the cutter remains within normal operating temperature.
What holder or machine setup is needed to run the 156M0400N10A?
A precision ER or shrink-fit collet that grips the 4 mm shank, plus a CNC spindle capable of the recommended speed range for the material you are cutting.
Will this 4 mm ball-nose cutter work reliably on older manual knee mills?
Yes — the necked geometry clears deep pockets on any machine that can hold a 4 mm shank and deliver adequate RPM, though CNC rigidity gives the best finish.
