What this tool is

The M.A. Ford 156M0100N18A is a 1.0 mm diameter, two-flute ball nose end mill with a necked design from the Tuffcut range. It is a solid carbide cutting tool intended for precision profiling, contouring and finishing operations in CNC milling applications.

Who should use it and who should not

Machinists needing a small-radius ball nose for detailed 3D work or tight corner radii will find this cutter suitable. It is not for buyers who require a larger diameter, more flutes for heavier material removal, or a flat-end geometry for facing and slotting tasks.

Capacity and headroom

The 1.0 mm cutting diameter provides fine detail capability in a variety of workpiece materials. The necked shank offers extended reach for deep cavities without interference. Cutting performance reaches its limit when the application demands higher feed rates or deeper axial engagement than the two-flute design and small diameter can sustain.

Questions about this item

What milling machine or router accepts a 1.0 mm shank for this end mill?

You need a CNC milling machine, router or spindle with a collet or chuck that grips a 1.0 mm diameter shank.

Can I run this 2-flute ball-nose cutter in a machine that only handles older high-speed steel tooling?

Yes, provided the spindle reaches the speeds recommended for carbide and the holder fits a 1.0 mm shank.

How do I confirm the tool is cutting correctly after installation?

Check for a smooth, chatter-free finish and the expected ball-nose radius on the workpiece.
