M.A. Ford Tuffcut Al 2 Flute End Mill
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut Al 2 Flute End Mill Necked is a cutting tool designed for aluminium machining. Its two-flute geometry and necked profile support chip evacuation in deeper slots and pockets. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Aluminium machining specialists
Shops that regularly cut aluminium alloys will benefit from the flute design optimised for that material. Operations focused on steel, titanium or hardened metals should select a tool with a different substrate and geometry. Buyers needing a higher flute count for finishing passes or a different shank style should look at other ranges.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 135B31251N end mill generate during continuous aluminium cutting?
The tool itself does not produce heat; heat comes from the cutting action and depends on spindle speed, feed rate and coolant use.
What shank size and holder does the 5/16 necked cutter require?
It needs a 5/16 inch shank-compatible collet or end-mill holder and a rigid milling machine spindle.
Will the 135B31251N fit an older Bridgeport-style mill with R8 taper?
Yes, if you use an R8-to-5/16 collet or adapter, the cutter will work on that machine.
