Precision Micro-Milling Tool

The M.A. Ford 156M0080N8A is a 0.80 mm diameter, two-flute ball nose end mill with a necked shank. It is designed for machinists and engineers performing detailed contouring, profiling or finishing work in small cavities where reach and tool rigidity are critical.

Neck Geometry and Coating Benefits

The necked shank provides extended reach into deep features without reducing the cutting diameter, while the TuffCut DM coating improves wear resistance and lubricity. Together they allow longer tool life and smoother surface finishes on hardened steels and exotic alloys compared with uncoated standard-length tools.

Capacity Limits and Application Boundaries

At 0.80 mm the cutter excels in fine-detail work such as micro-mould cavities, jewellery prototypes or medical-device components. It is not suited for heavy roughing, wide pocket clearing or high-material-removal jobs where a larger-diameter rougher would be required.

Questions about this item

When will the 0.80 mm ball-nose cutter need to be replaced?

Replace the end mill when the cutting edges show visible wear, chipping or loss of diameter that affects finish quality.

What limits continuous cutting with the 2-flute necked design?

The small 0.80 mm diameter and necked profile restrict chip evacuation and tool rigidity, so heat buildup and deflection become the practical limits.

How much heat and noise does the Tuffcut DM end mill generate during extended runs?

The solid-carbide cutter itself produces minimal noise; heat depends on spindle speed, feed rate and coolant use rather than the tool alone.
