M.A. Ford 10.0 mm Ball Nose End Mill
This new cutting tool from M.A. Ford is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and a 10.0 mm diameter. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need to profile, contour or finish complex three-dimensional surfaces in a variety of materials.
10.0 mm diameter decides the cut
The single specification that determines suitability is the 10.0 mm cutting diameter. This dimension fixes the minimum internal radius you can produce and the step-over distance for finishing passes, so it must match the feature sizes in your CAD model and the capacity of your tool holder.
Necked shank clears deep features
The necked shank provides extra reach behind the flutes, letting the tool enter deep cavities or tall walls without the holder colliding with the workpiece. It fits standard ER or shrink-fit collets sized for the shank, freeing the programmer to run longer axial depths without switching to a smaller-diameter cutter.
Highlights
- 10 mm diameter suits precise milling tasks

Questions about this item
What does the 10.0 mm ball nose diameter mean for the finish on a real workpiece?
The 10.0 mm ball nose creates a matching corner radius, letting a single pass produce a smooth contoured surface on the material.
How does the 2 flute design limit chip evacuation in deep pockets?
Two flutes give larger chip space than higher counts, but deep slots still need peck cycles or air blast to prevent re-cutting.
What shank size and holder type does the 156M1000N50A need to mount securely?
The tool uses a standard 10.0 mm cylindrical shank, so it fits any ER collet, shrink-fit or Weldon holder bored for that diameter.
