Product Identity
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut Al 2 Flute End Mill is a necked cutting tool with a 6.0 mm diameter. It is designed for machining aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials in CNC and manual milling operations.
Standard Limitations
The necked geometry provides extended reach for deep cavities but reduces tool rigidity compared to a standard shank. Cutting parameters must be adjusted to manage deflection and vibration, particularly when using the full flute length in harder alloys.
Deciding Specification
The 2 flute configuration and aluminium-specific geometry determine chip evacuation efficiency and surface finish quality. This tool is not suited for ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, or applications requiring a higher flute count for finishing passes.
Highlights
- 2-flute design enables smooth aluminium cutting
- 0 mm diameter suits precision milling tasks
- necked shank provides extended reach in deep cavities
- Tuffcut Al geometry optimised for non-ferrous materials
- California Proposition 65 warning indicates regulated chemical content

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 6.0 mm necked version or another diameter?
The 6.0 mm necked end mill suits slots and pockets needing that exact cutter width; pick a different diameter only if your feature size or tool-holder capacity demands it.
What does the 2-flute Tuffcut Al geometry deliver in aluminium?
Two polished flutes with a high helix evacuate chips fast and reduce built-up edge, giving clean walls and high feed rates in non-ferrous alloys.
How does the necked shank affect reach and rigidity?
The reduced neck lets the tool reach deeper cavities without shank interference while the solid carbide body keeps deflection low.
