M.A. Ford 13562992N 16.0mm 2 Flute Necked End Mill

M.A. Ford 16.0mm End Mill

The M.A. Ford 13562992N is a 16.0mm diameter cutting tool designed for aluminium machining. Its two-flute necked geometry allows for deeper pocket access and improved chip evacuation during high-speed milling operations. This new end mill suits CNC operators and machinists working with non-ferrous materials who require extended reach. The TuffCut Al series targets aluminium-specific toolpaths in professional workshop environments.

Suited for aluminium milling, not ferrous metals

Machinists cutting aluminium alloys will benefit from the flute design optimised for that material. The necked profile supports applications requiring clearance over fixture clamps or deep cavity work. Shops primarily processing steel, titanium or hardened alloys should select a tool with a different substrate and coating. Buyers needing a higher flute count for finishing passes or different helix angles must evaluate alternative tooling ranges.

Sustained aluminium cutting performance

Under continuous load in aluminium the two-flute design maintains consistent chip formation and evacuation at elevated feed rates. The necked shank reduces deflection when the tool extends beyond standard holder lengths during long machining cycles. Heat generation remains manageable in the intended non-ferrous workpiece material during prolonged engagement. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemical content.
