M.A. Ford 13625003 End Mill Finisher 1/4

What this end mill is for

The M.A. Ford 13625003 Tuffcut Al 2 Flute End Mill Finisher is a cutting tool designed for finishing operations. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated finisher for aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. The two-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation during finishing passes. Buyers who need a roughing tool or a cutter for hardened steel should select a different product.

Check your holder and workpiece

Verify that your tool holder accepts the 1/4 inch shank diameter before ordering. Confirm that your machine spindle provides the runout accuracy required for a finishing cutter. Ensure the workpiece material matches the aluminium-focused design of the Tuffcut Al series. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Behaviour during extended cuts

Under sustained load the finisher maintains consistent surface quality thanks to its two-flute design and aluminium-specific geometry. Heat buildup is managed by the flute configuration during prolonged finishing passes. The cutter resists premature wear when run at appropriate speeds for non-ferrous alloys. Orders of 75 dollars or more ship free directly from the manufacturer.
