12.0 mm Ball Nose End Mill for CNC Machining

The M.A. Ford 15647240A is a 12.0 mm diameter ball nose end mill designed for CNC milling operations. It features a two-flute TuffCut DM geometry suited to contouring and finishing passes. This cutter targets machinists and fabricators who need a reliable tool for 3D profiling in a variety of materials.

Solid Carbide Shank Fits Standard ER Collets

The solid carbide shank mounts directly into standard ER collets or hydraulic holders without adapters. Installation is straightforward: clean the holder bore, insert the shank to the recommended depth, and torque the collet nut to specification. Problems usually arise from excessive tool overhang or insufficient clamping force, which can cause chatter or pull-out during heavy cuts.

Two-Flute Geometry Limits Chip Evacuation in Deep

The two-flute design provides a larger core for strength but reduces chip space compared to three- or four-flute tools. In deep pockets or slots, chips can pack tightly and recut, degrading surface finish and tool life. High-pressure coolant or air blast is often required to clear chips effectively when axial depth exceeds the flute length.
