Precision 2 mm ball-nose end mill
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM 156M0200N10A is a 2.0 mm diameter, two-flute ball-nose end mill with a necked shank. It is designed for CNC profiling, contouring and finishing operations where a small-radius cutter is required. The solid-carbide construction suits both ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists needing a compact tool for intricate 3-D surfaces will find it appropriate.
Build integration and toolholding
The necked geometry provides extra reach into deep cavities without reducing shank rigidity. A standard ER collet or shrink-fit holder matching the shank diameter secures the tool for high-speed spindle use. No special coolant-through interface is required; flood or mist coolant can be applied externally. The short overall length frees up Z-axis travel on smaller machining centres.
Sustained cutting behaviour
Under continuous engagement the two-flute design evacuates chips efficiently while maintaining edge strength. The Tuffcut DM coating reduces built-up edge when running at elevated temperatures during long finish passes. Consistent radial forces help hold dimensional tolerance across extended production runs. Thermal stability allows the cutter to remain in the cut without frequent tool changes.

Questions about this item
At what diameter does the 2.0 mm necked shank limit reach before tool deflection increases?
The necked design on this 2.0 mm ball nose end mill provides reach for deep cavities while the reduced shank diameter controls deflection during extended cuts.
How much heat builds up in the flutes during continuous milling with this tool?
Two-flute geometry allows larger chip clearance so heat evacuates with the swarf rather than accumulating in the cutting zone during long runs.
Which tool-holder interface matches the shank on this end mill?
The straight shank fits standard ER collets, Weldon flats or shrink-fit holders that accept a 2.0 mm diameter.
