Product Identity

The M.A. Ford 156M0200N25A is a 2.0 mm ball nose end mill with a necked design and two flutes. It is manufactured for precision milling tasks that require a small cutting diameter and extended reach in various materials.

Best Fit

This cutter suits machinists who need a 2.0 mm ball profile for contouring or finishing operations in tight spaces. Buyers who require a larger cutting diameter or a different flute count should look at alternative tooling options.

Installation Notes

The shank fits standard holders for 2.0 mm tools; secure it firmly and verify run-out before cutting. A common issue is insufficient clamping force leading to vibration, while another is selecting incorrect speeds for the specific workpiece material.

Questions about this item

What shank diameter must my tool holder accept for the 2.0 mm ball nose end mill?

The end mill has a 2.0 mm cutting diameter, so the holder or collet must be sized for a 2.0 mm shank to grip it securely.

Will the 2 flute geometry on this 2.0 mm cutter produce a similar finish to the 4 flute tools I already use?

Two flutes remove more material per tooth than four flutes, giving larger chips and a rougher surface on the same feed rate; adjust speed and feed accordingly.

How can I confirm the necked portion is clearing the workpiece wall during a deep pocket cut?

Watch for uninterrupted chip evacuation and listen for a steady cutting sound; binding or chatter indicates the neck is contacting the wall.
