M.A. Ford Tuffcut Al End Mill

The M.A. Ford Tuffcut Al 2 Flute End Mill 3/16 is a cutting tool designed for aluminium and non-ferrous materials. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a dedicated geometry for soft, gummy alloys. The two-flute design provides high chip clearance to reduce welding and built-up edge.

Upgrading from general-purpose cutters

This tool replaces standard end mills that lack the polished flutes and high helix required for aluminium. The jump is worth it when chip evacuation becomes the bottleneck and surface finish on non-ferrous parts must improve without changing spindle speed.

Sustained cutting behaviour

Under continuous load the polished flutes resist material adhesion and maintain consistent chip flow. Heat stays in the chip rather than the workpiece, so dimensional stability holds over long tool paths. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the product.

Questions about this item

What shank size does the 3/16 end mill need to fit my collet?

The 3/16 diameter shank fits standard ER collets or Weldon holders made for that size.

How do I install the Tuffcut Al end mill without damaging the flutes?

Insert the shank fully into the collet, tighten the nut to the maker's torque spec, and never bottom the flutes in the holder.

When should I replace the 2-flute cutter during aluminium work?

Replace it when the cutting edges show visible wear, chipping, or when surface finish degrades on the workpiece.
