  • California Proposition 65 warning informs safe handling procedures

M.A. Ford PCD Ball End Mill 1/8 1 Flute

The M.A. Ford DE1B1250 is a new polycrystalline diamond ball end mill with a 1/8 inch diameter and a single flute. It is designed for precision milling in composite and abrasive non-ferrous materials.

Suited for high-wear composite routing.

This tool suits machinists routing carbon-fibre, graphite or green ceramics where diamond hardness resists abrasion. It is not for steel, stainless steel or iron alloys because the diamond reacts chemically with ferrous metals at cutting temperatures.

California Proposition 65 chemical warning

The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for substances known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Buyers who require documentation free of these listed chemicals should select an alternative.

Questions about this item

How is the 1/8" shank DE1B1250 secured in the collet without run-out?

Insert the shank fully into a clean ER or DA collet, tighten the nut to the holder's rated torque, then verify run-out at the ball tip before engaging the workpiece.

When does the PCD tip on this single-flute end mill require replacement?

Replace the tool when flank wear reaches the manufacturer's limit, when the ball radius shows measurable rounding, or when surface finish degrades beyond tolerance.

What thermal limit appears first during prolonged cuts with this 1-flute PCD ball mill?

The diamond-to-carbide bond begins to degrade once the tip temperature exceeds the PCD grade's rated maximum, causing premature edge loss.
