End mill for precision milling

The M.A. Ford 156M0300N16A is a 3.0 mm diameter ball nose end mill with a necked design and two flutes. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need to produce contoured profiles and finished radii in a range of workpiece materials.

Sustained cutting behaviour

The two flute geometry provides adequate chip evacuation during continuous passes while the necked shank allows deeper reach without toolholder interference. This construction supports steady material removal rates when the tool is engaged for extended periods in profiling operations.

Necked shank reach constraint

The necked portion limits the maximum axial depth to the length of the reduced diameter section. Operators must plan toolpaths so that the cutter does not engage beyond this transition or the holder will contact the workpiece.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.0 mm necked design generate noticeable heat during extended milling sessions?

The 3.0 mm necked geometry helps dissipate heat away from the cutting zone, keeping the tool cooler during long runs.

What machine setup is required to run this 2 flute ball nose end mill?

A CNC milling machine or router with a collet or chuck that accepts the 3.0 mm shank diameter is needed.

Will this Tuffcut DM cutter work reliably in an older manual mill with standard collets?

Yes, the standard 3.0 mm shank fits common collets on older manual mills, though CNC rigidity gives better finish.
