A 2-flute ball-nose end mill with a 10.0 mm necked design for precision milling
- TypeCutting Tools
- Solid carbide construction resists wear during machining
- Two-flute geometry clears chips efficiently in deep pockets
- Ball nose profile produces smooth 3-D contours
- Necked shank reaches 30 mm into cavities without interference
- 0 mm diameter matches standard toolholder collets
Intended Use
This M.A. Ford TuffCut DM end mill is a two-flute ball-nose cutter with a necked shank, designed for precision contouring and finishing in hardened steels and other tough alloys. It suits CNC machinists and tool-room engineers who need reliable performance on complex 3-D profiles.
Setup Checks
Before ordering, verify that your machine spindle and holder can accommodate a 10.0 mm shank and that the 30 mm neck length clears the workpiece features you intend to machine. Confirm the tool path stays within the cutter’s flute reach and that your coolant or air-blast arrangement can reach the cutting zone.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous cutting the carbide substrate and DM coating resist heat buildup, helping the flutes retain sharpness during long finishing passes. The two-flute geometry evacuates chips steadily, reducing the risk of re-cutting when the tool dwells in deep cavities.

Questions about this item
Does the 156M1000N30A end mill arrive as a single 10.0 mm cutter or are shims and holders included?
The item ships as one 10.0 mm TuffCut DM 2-flute ball-nose end mill with a necked shank; no collets, holders or shims are supplied.
When should I choose the 156M1000N30A over other diameters in the TuffCut DM range?
Select this 10.0 mm necked ball-nose tool when your programme calls for a 10 mm cutter with extended reach for deep pockets or 3-D contours.
What does the 30° helix angle mean for chip evacuation in aluminium?
The 30° helix lifts chips efficiently in aluminium and non-ferrous alloys, reducing re-cutting and improving surface finish on deep passes.
