M.A. Ford 1.8 mm Ball Nose End Mill

This M.A. Ford 156M0180N20A is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a 1.8 mm cutting diameter and a necked design. It belongs to the TuffCut DM range and is intended for precision milling operations where contouring and finishing are required.

Installation and common issues

The shank fits standard tool holders matching its diameter; secure it with the correct collet and torque to avoid run-out. Problems usually arise from excessive feed rates, insufficient coolant or incorrect spindle speed, which can cause premature wear or tool breakage.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Machinists producing small-radius profiles in hardened steels or difficult alloys will find the geometry suitable. Buyers needing larger diameters, higher flute counts or a different coating for non-ferrous materials should consider other tooling.
