Micro-end mill for precision profiling
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut 156M0050N4A is a two-flute ball-nose end mill with a 0.50 mm cutting diameter. It is intended for machinists and tool-room engineers who need fine contouring capability in a single, new cutting tool.
Necked geometry for deep-pocket stability
The necked shank provides extra reach while keeping the cutting zone rigid during extended passes. This layout resists deflection better than a standard shank when the tool is engaged for long periods in deep cavities.
Carbide construction with Prop 65 notice
Solid carbide composition delivers the hardness required for repeatable finishing cuts in hardened alloys. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the presence of substances linked to cancer and reproductive harm, so operators should follow standard coolant and dust-control practices.

Questions about this item
Does the 0.50 mm ball nose generate noticeable heat during long milling sessions?
The small 0.50 mm diameter removes little material per pass, so heat build-up stays low when feed and speed are matched to the tool.
What holder or machine spindle is required to run this 156 series end mill?
A precision collet or shrink-fit holder that accepts the 0.50 mm shank and a CNC spindle capable of high RPM for micro-tools.
Will this two-flute necked cutter work with older manual milling machines?
It is designed for rigid CNC tool paths; run-out on older manual machines can break the 0.50 mm neck before the flutes engage.
