16 mm PCD ball end mill
The M.A. Ford DE2BM1600 is a 16 mm diameter polycrystalline diamond ball end mill with two flutes. It is built for machinists who need a fresh, unused cutter for high-precision profiling and finishing passes in abrasive non-ferrous materials.
Capacity and headroom
The two-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation while the PCD edge retains sharpness far longer than carbide in graphite, composites and high-silicon aluminium. Tool life extends through extended production runs, yet the fixed 16 mm diameter limits the cutter to features that accommodate that radius.
Build integration
The shank fits standard ER collets or hydraulic holders sized for 16 mm tools, so no special adapters are required. Rigid, vibration-free toolholding frees up spindle capacity for higher feed rates, and the long-lasting edge reduces tool-change downtime during lights-out machining.
Highlights
- PCD construction for abrasive-material machining
- 16 mm ball-nose radius for 3D contouring
- Two-flute design improves chip evacuation

Questions about this item
Will this 16 mm PCD ball end mill fit the collet and tool holder I already use for standard 16 mm shank cutters?
Yes, the 16 mm shank matches standard ER collets and holders for that diameter, so existing tooling will accept it without adapters.
How can I confirm the DE2BM1600 is cutting correctly once installed in the spindle?
Listen for smooth, quiet engagement and check the first workpiece for a clean, spherical radius without chatter marks or built-up edge on the PCD flutes.
Does the box include any collet, holder, or coolant accessories, or just the cutter itself?
Only the 16 mm 2-flute PCD ball end mill is supplied; collets, tool holders, and coolant fittings must be purchased separately.
