Product Identity
The M.A. Ford TuffCut DM 156M0100N14A is a 1.0 mm diameter, two-flute ball nose end mill with a necked shank. It is intended for machinists and engineers who need precise contouring and finishing in tight cavities.
Sustained Cutting Behaviour
The necked geometry provides extra reach without sacrificing rigidity, helping the tool maintain consistent engagement during longer passes. Two flutes allow efficient chip evacuation so heat does not build up as quickly during extended profiling work.
Build and Mounting Implications
Solid carbide construction resists wear and holds sharp edges longer than high-speed steel alternatives. The plain shank fits standard collets and shrink-fit holders, letting the operator swap tools quickly on any compatible milling machine. California Proposition 65 warnings note the presence of chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 1.0 mm ball nose generate during extended cutting runs?
The carbide tool produces typical cutting heat for its diameter; coolant or air blast is recommended for continuous operation.
What holder or collet is required to run this necked end mill?
A precision ER collet or shrink-fit holder that accepts a 1.0 mm shank is needed for secure clamping.
Will this 2 flute necked mill work on older manual knee mills?
Yes, it fits any machine with a compatible collet, though feed rates must be reduced compared to modern CNCs.
