M.A. Ford 15631500A End Mill 8.0mm 2 Flute Ball Nose

Product identity

The M.A. Ford 15631500A is an 8.0 mm two-flute ball-nose end mill from the TuffCut DM range. It is intended for machinists and tool-room engineers who need a new carbide cutter for contouring, profiling and finishing operations in a variety of materials.

Setup checks

Verify that your machine spindle and tool holder accept an 8.0 mm shank and that the available stick-out suits the flute length for the intended depth of cut. Confirm the workpiece material and coolant strategy match the cutter's design before ordering.

Build and daily use

The solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance for consistent performance during repeated passes. Two flutes allow good chip evacuation in slotting and pocketing while the ball nose produces smooth radius profiles. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so follow shop safety procedures when handling and machining.
