M.A. Ford 4.0 mm End Mill

This M.A. Ford 15615751A Tuffcut DM end mill is a 4.0 mm diameter, two-flute ball nose cutter with a necked shank. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need precise contouring and profiling in a range of materials. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

Installation and Common Issues

The cutter installs in any standard tool holder or collet sized for its shank, so setup is straightforward for anyone familiar with milling operations. Problems typically arise if the necked section contacts the workpiece or fixture during deep cuts, or if run-out in the holder causes vibration at higher speeds. California Proposition 65 warnings note that the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so appropriate personal protective equipment and ventilation are required.

Capacity and Headroom

The 4.0 mm diameter and ball nose geometry comfortably handle detailed 3D profiling, finishing passes and tight-radius contours in metals and plastics. The two-flute design provides good chip evacuation in softer materials but runs out of rigidity in heavy roughing or full-width slotting where a higher flute count or larger diameter would be needed. Orders of $75 or more ship free from the manufacturer.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 4.0 mm ball-nose end mill is cutting correctly after setup?

Run a test pass in your material and check for a smooth finish without chatter; the two-flute design should evacuate chips cleanly when feed and speed match the cutter diameter.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The package contains the single 15615751A TuffCut DM end mill; you will need to supply a compatible tool holder, collet or shrink-fit chuck for your spindle.

Which version of the 4.0 mm TuffCut DM should I choose for my application?

This listing is the necked, two-flute ball-nose variant; select it when you need extended reach in deep pockets or 3-D profiling, otherwise choose a non-necked or multi-flute version.
