5/8 End Mill for Aluminium

The M.A. Ford 13562500 Tuffcut Al is a two-flute solid carbide end mill designed for high-speed machining of aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. It suits CNC operators and job shops that need clean chip evacuation and reduced built-up edge on soft alloys.

Two-flute geometry limits finish passes

With only two cutting edges the tool prioritises chip clearance over surface finish, so heavy roughing is practical but fine finishing may require a separate multi-flute cutter. The 5/8 diameter sets the minimum corner radius you can achieve in pockets and slots.

Check holder capacity and machine rigidity

Verify that your tool holder accepts a 5/8 shank and that the spindle run-out is low enough for solid carbide at high RPM. Ensure the workpiece fixturing can resist the cutting forces generated by aggressive aluminium feeds.

Questions about this item

Which M.A. Ford end mill should I choose for aluminium work?

The 13562500 Tuffcut Al is a two-flute 5/8 inch cutter designed specifically for aluminium, so select this model when you need that diameter and flute count.

What does the two-flute design mean when the cutter is in the spindle?

Two flutes give larger chip space for the sticky chips aluminium produces, letting the tool evacuate material cleanly at higher feed rates without re-cutting.

What shank standard does the 13562500 use and what does that limit?

It uses a standard 5/8 inch shank, so it fits any 5/8 inch collet or holder but cannot be used in smaller or metric tooling without an adapter.
