M.A. Ford PCD Ball End Mill 8mm
The M.A. Ford DE2BM0800 is a new PCD ball end mill with an 8 mm cutting diameter and two flutes. It is intended for machinists and CNC operators who need a polycrystalline diamond tool for high-speed finishing of abrasive non-ferrous materials such as graphite, carbon-fibre composites or high-silicon aluminium alloys.
Two-flute geometry for chip evacuation
The two-flute design provides wide chip gullets that clear abrasive dust quickly, reducing re-cutting and extending tool life in high-feed roughing and finishing passes. This flute count is the primary specification that determines whether the cutter matches your programmed feed rates and material removal strategy.
Standard shank fits common ER collets
The cutter uses a standard shank that fits directly into ER collets or hydraulic holders without adapters, so setup is a simple tool change. The only common issue is chatter from insufficient clamping force or excessive stick-out; verify holder run-out and use the shortest practical gauge length to maintain rigidity.

Questions about this item
What does the 8 mm ball diameter mean for contour milling?
The 8 mm ball radius determines the minimum fillet size the tool can produce in a single pass.
Which shank standard does the DE2BM0800 use?
The cutter is built on a standard cylindrical shank matching the 8 mm cutting diameter for direct collet or hydraulic holder clamping.
What clearance does the 2-flute PCD geometry need in the spindle?
Two flutes reduce chip evacuation space, so ensure the holder and spindle bore allow free rotation without coolant-port interference.
