Cutting Tool for Precision Milling

The M.A. Ford 156M0140N16A Tuffcut is a 1.4 mm diameter ball nose end mill with a necked design and two flutes. It is intended for machinists and engineers performing detailed contouring or finishing passes in a variety of materials where reach and tool clearance are required.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The two-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during extended cutting cycles, helping to maintain consistent surface finish and reduce heat buildup in the cutting zone. The necked profile supports deeper cavity work without shank interference, allowing the tool to sustain engagement in pocketing operations.

Installation and Common Issues

The tool mounts in any standard collet or holder sized for its shank, requiring only proper run-out checks before use. Problems typically arise from excessive feed rates or insufficient coolant, which can cause premature flute wear or breakage in the necked section. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemical exposure.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1.4 mm Tuffcut end mill generate during extended cutting sessions?

The solid carbide construction dissipates heat efficiently, and the two-flute design allows chips to clear quickly so the tool runs cooler even during long milling passes.

What machine setup is needed to hold the 1.4 mm necked shank securely?

A standard ER collet or shrink-fit holder that matches the shank diameter will grip the necked section without run-out.

Will the 156M0140N16A work in an older manual milling machine with limited spindle speed?

Yes — the geometry is designed for a wide speed range, so it cuts cleanly at the lower RPMs typical of older knee mills.
