1.8 mm ball-nose end mill

The M.A. Ford 156M0180N12A is a 2-flute Tuffcut DM end mill with a 1.8 mm cutting diameter and necked relief. It is intended for machinists and shops performing contouring, profiling or finishing passes in a range of materials. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

Replaces worn or undersized ball-nose tools

This cutter replaces dull or smaller-diameter ball-nose mills when a 1.8 mm radius is required for tight corner radii or 3D surfacing. The jump is worth it when the necked reach allows access to deep features that a standard length tool cannot clear. It also suits jobs needing the specific Tuffcut DM geometry for improved chip evacuation.

Check shank compatibility and safety data

Verify that your tool holder accepts the shank diameter of this 1.8 mm end mill before ordering. Confirm the neck length provides the reach your workpiece demands. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so review handling procedures and personal protective equipment requirements.

Clamp on the shank only, keep the 1.8 mm neck clear of the holder, and tighten evenly to avoid run-out.
