Precision milling tool for fine detail work
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM 156M0300N10A is a 2 flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and a 3.0mm cutting diameter. It is built for machinists and engineers who need accurate contouring and profiling in a variety of materials. The tool suits applications requiring tight radius work and extended reach in deeper cavities.
Carbide construction maintains edge integrity
The solid carbide body resists deflection and heat buildup during prolonged cutting cycles, allowing consistent performance across extended production runs. The necked geometry provides clearance for deep pocketing without shank interference, reducing vibration and chatter when the tool is fully engaged. This stability helps preserve dimensional accuracy over long machining sessions.
Standard shank fits common tool holders
The cutter installs directly into standard collets or hydraulic holders matching its shank diameter, requiring no specialised adapters. Proper clamping force is essential; insufficient grip can cause pull-out during heavy radial loads. Users should verify tool stick-out length to minimise runout and avoid exceeding the flute length during deep cuts.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 3.0 mm ball nose generate during continuous milling?
The carbide construction and two-flute design move chips away efficiently, keeping the cutting zone cooler during extended passes.
What tool holder or collet size is required for the 3.0 mm shank?
A standard 3 mm ER collet or shrink-fit holder with 3 mm bore will secure the shank without adapters.
Will the 156 series necked profile clear fixtures on my older CNC router?
The necked shank provides extra reach so the flutes stay clear of clamps and vise jaws on legacy machines.
