Cutting tool for precision milling
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM end mill is a 3.0 mm diameter, two-flute ball nose cutter with a necked shank. It is designed for contouring and finishing operations in a variety of materials where reach and clearance are required. The tool suits machinists and engineers performing detailed 3D profiling work.
Solid carbide construction with necked geometry
The solid carbide body provides the rigidity needed for accurate profile milling. A necked shank extends reach into deep cavities or tight corners without interference from the tool holder. The 25 mm length of cut and 300 mm overall length support extended depth applications.
