Precision Cutting Tool
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and a 1.0 mm cutting diameter. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who require precise contouring and profiling in a variety of materials. The solid carbide construction supports accurate finishing passes.
Capacity and Headroom
The 1.0 mm diameter suits detailed work and tight radii where larger tools cannot reach. The necked geometry provides clearance for deeper cavity milling without shank interference. It runs out when material removal rates demand a heavier chip load or a larger diameter than the tool provides.
Build Integration
The tool fits standard collets and holders sized for its shank, requiring a rigid spindle and precise runout control for best results. Its necked length frees up access to deep features that a standard flute length cannot reach. The design frees up programming options for complex 3D surfaces.
Highlights
- Precision ball nose for smooth contouring
- Two-flute design clears chips efficiently
- Necked shank reaches deep cavities
- 0 mm diameter suits fine detail work
- California Proposition 65 chemical warning applies

Questions about this item
Will the 1.0 mm ball nose end mill fit in my existing ER collet chuck?
The 1.0 mm shank fits standard ER collets sized for 1 mm; match the collet bore to the shank diameter.
How can I verify the Tuffcut DM is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for smooth, chatter-free cuts and a clean ball-nose finish on the workpiece; measure the radius to confirm it matches the 1.0 mm specification.
Does the M.A. Ford 156M0100N2A come with a tool holder or collet?
The package contains only the 2-flute necked end mill; a compatible collet or holder must be purchased separately.
