M.A. Ford 12.0Mm End Mill
The M.A. Ford 156M1200N50A Tuffcut is a 2-flute ball nose end mill with a necked design. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need precise contouring and profiling in a variety of materials. The tool is supplied new and carries a California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
12.0Mm Cutting Diameter
The 12.0 millimetre cutting diameter is the critical specification that determines compatibility with your tool holders and the scale of features you can machine. This single dimension decides whether the cutter matches the required radius for your specific milling operations and workpiece geometry.
Necked Shank For Clearance
The necked shank provides additional reach for deep-pocket milling without interference from the tool holder. This design frees up access to vertical walls and intricate cavities that a standard shank cannot reach. It requires a compatible collet or holder sized for the shank and adequate machine rigidity to control vibration at extended lengths.

Questions about this item
What does the 12.0 mm diameter mean when the Tuffcut end mill is in the spindle?
The 12.0 mm cutting diameter sets the maximum width of each pass, so the tool removes a 12.0 mm wide channel in a single rotation.
What shank interface does the 156M1200N50A use and what does it limit?
The tool uses a standard cylindrical shank that fits ER collets or Weldon holders; the shank diameter caps the maximum holder size and therefore the machine spindle capacity.
What physical clearance does the necked 50 mm length require to mount without interference?
The 50 mm necked section needs at least 50 mm of unobstructed depth from the holder face so the reduced-diameter neck clears fixture walls or deep cavity walls.
