20.0 mm Necked End Mill
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut Al is a two-flute end mill with a necked shank and a 20.0 mm cutting diameter. It is manufactured as a cutting tool for milling aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. The new condition means it arrives with sharp, unworn edges ready for immediate use.
Proposition 65 Chemical Warning
This product carries a California Proposition 65 notice stating it contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. A second notice advises that the same product contains a chemical known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Users should review safety data sheets and follow handling guidelines.
Necked Shank for Reach
The necked design provides additional clearance between the tool holder and the workpiece. This allows deeper pocket milling or profiling without interference from the shank. The two-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in aluminium alloys.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 20.0 mm diameter or a different size for aluminium profiling?
Select the 20.0 mm diameter when the programmed pocket or slot width matches that size; step down to a smaller cutter for tighter internal radii or step up for faster material removal in wider cavities.
What does the 20.0 mm cutting diameter deliver in a milling cycle?
A 20.0 mm cutter removes a full-width chip in one pass, reducing step-over count and cycle time while the two-flute geometry clears aluminium chips efficiently at high feed rates.
How does the necked shank affect reach and rigidity in a CNC holder?
The necked section extends reach for deep pockets without lengthening the full-diameter flute, so the tool grips securely in a standard collet while the reduced neck clears vertical walls.
