M.A. Ford 13562901N5 End Mill 16.0 mm

16.0 mm Necked End Mill for Aluminium

The M.A. Ford 13562901N5 is a two-flute necked end mill designed for aluminium machining. Its 16.0 mm cutting diameter suits profiling and pocketing operations where reach and chip evacuation matter. Machinists and CNC operators working with non-ferrous alloys will find the geometry optimised for those materials. This tool is not intended for hardened steels or high-temperature alloys.

Two-Flute Geometry and Chip Clearance

A two-flute design provides large gullets that move aluminium chips away from the cut quickly. The necked shank allows deeper reach without the shank contacting the workpiece wall. Feed rates must stay within the tool’s material-specific limits to avoid deflection or breakage. The uncoated carbide substrate relies on sharp edges rather than a coating for lubricity.

Prop 65 Warning and Toolholder Fit

California Proposition 65 notices indicate the product contains chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm; handle with appropriate personal protection and ventilation. Verify that your toolholder accepts a 16.0 mm shank and that the machine spindle can accommodate the overall length. Confirm the workpiece material matches the aluminium-specific geometry before ordering. Buyers needing a different diameter or flute count should select another model.
