M.A. Ford 13547201N5 End Mill 12.0 mm

M.A. Ford 12.0 mm End Mill

The M.A. Ford 13547201N5 is a Tuffcut Al 2 flute end mill with a necked design and a 12.0 mm diameter. It is intended for milling operations in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. The tool suits machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated aluminium cutter with reach for deeper features.

Two-flute geometry for aluminium

The two-flute configuration provides large chip gullets that evacuate material efficiently in soft, sticky alloys. This geometry prevents clogging and reduces built-up edge during high-speed passes. The necked shank allows access to pockets and cavities that a standard length tool cannot reach. It is not suited for heavy roughing in steel or high-temperature alloys where flute count and coating requirements differ.

Necked shank and Proposition 65 notice

The necked profile increases rigidity at the cutting zone while clearing deep workpiece features without shank interference. The tool carries a California Proposition 65 warning for exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Users should follow standard shop safety practices including ventilation and personal protective equipment when machining.
