M.A. Ford 13550001 End Mill

The M.A. Ford 13550001 is a TuffCut AL 2-flute end mill designed for aluminium machining. Its cutting geometry targets efficient material removal in non-ferrous applications. The tool suits CNC operators and machinists who need reliable performance on aluminium workpieces. This cutting tool arrives in new condition.

Machinists cutting aluminium

This end mill suits professionals and hobbyists milling aluminium alloys on CNC or manual machines. The two-flute design supports chip evacuation in soft, sticky materials. It is not intended for hardened steels, titanium or high-temperature alloys. Buyers needing tools for ferrous metals or exotic materials should select a different geometry.

Sustained aluminium milling

The cutter maintains consistent chip formation during extended passes in aluminium. Its flute design reduces built-up edge accumulation over long cycle times. Heat generation stays manageable in sustained non-ferrous cutting. The tool resists premature wear when run at appropriate speeds and feeds for aluminium.

Questions about this item

What milling machine or spindle is needed to run the 1/2" TuffCut Al 2-flute end mill?

A milling machine or router with a 1/2" collet or tool holder that can reach the speeds and feeds recommended for aluminium cutting.

Can the 13550001 end mill be used on older manual knee mills as well as CNC machines?

Yes, the 2-flute geometry works on both manual and CNC mills provided the spindle accepts a 1/2" shank and runs at appropriate aluminium-cutting speeds.

How do I know the TuffCut Al end mill is performing correctly after the first cut?

Check for clean, chip-free aluminium edges, consistent chip formation and no chatter marks on the workpiece surface.
