A PCD ball end mill with a 4 mm cutting diameter and single flute for precision milling
- PCD construction delivers long tool life in abrasive composites
- Ball nose profile produces smooth 3-D contours and radii
- Single flute geometry clears chips efficiently in soft materials
- 4 mm diameter suits fine-detail machining operations
- California Proposition 65 warning alerts users to listed chemicals
What the tool is and who uses it
The M.A. Ford DE1BM0400 is a 4 mm PCD ball end mill with a single flute. It is built for precision contouring and finishing in abrasive non-ferrous materials and composites. CNC operators and tooling engineers select it when long tool life and clean surface finish are required.
Check your machine and holder before ordering
Verify that your spindle and tool holder accept a 4 mm shank and can run at the speeds PCD tooling demands. Confirm the workpiece material is compatible with polycrystalline diamond; the cutter is not intended for ferrous alloys. Review the California Proposition 65 notice that accompanies this product.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This cutter suits shops machining graphite, carbon-fibre, high-silicon aluminium or green ceramics where flute wear is a primary cost driver. It does not suit buyers who need a multi-flute geometry for higher feed rates in softer materials, nor operations that require cutting hardened steel or iron-based alloys.

Questions about this item
What does the DE1BM0400 ball end mill include and what must be purchased separately?
The DE1BM0400 is supplied as a single 4 mm PCD ball end mill with one flute; no holder, collet or coolant accessories are included and must be sourced separately.
How do I choose between the listed versions or capacities for this end mill?
Only one specification is offered — a 4 mm diameter, single-flute PCD ball end mill — so there are no alternative versions or capacities to select from.
What does the Proposition 65 warning mean for daily workshop use?
The warning indicates the tool contains a substance listed by California as causing cancer and reproductive harm; follow standard machining hygiene such as dust extraction, gloves and hand washing to minimise exposure.
