M.A. Ford 156M0080N2A 0.80 mm ball nose end mill

Precision milling tool

The M.A. Ford 156M0080N2A is a two-flute ball nose end mill designed for detailed contouring and finishing operations. Its necked geometry provides extended reach for deep cavity work without interference. Machinists and toolmakers select this cutter for high-precision profiling in a variety of materials. The solid carbide construction supports consistent performance in demanding applications.

0.80 mm cutting diameter

The 0.80 mm ball nose radius is the critical dimension that determines the minimum feature size and surface finish achievable. This specific diameter suits micro-milling tasks where tight internal corners and fine detail are required. Selecting this tool depends entirely on matching the cutter diameter to the programmed tool path and part geometry. No other specification overrides this fundamental sizing requirement.

Micro-scale capacity headroom

The cutter handles intricate 3D profiling and small-radius finishing passes with appropriate rigidity for its scale. It runs out when material removal rates exceed the capacity of the two-flute design or when the application demands a larger radius for faster stock removal. The necked shank offers clearance for deep features but does not increase the cutting diameter itself. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
