M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM 156M0300N10A 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill Necked 3.0mm

Precision milling tool for fine detail work

The M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM 156M0300N10A is a 2 flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and a 3.0mm cutting diameter. It is built for machinists and engineers who need accurate contouring and profiling in a variety of materials. The tool suits applications requiring tight radius work and extended reach in deeper cavities.

Carbide construction maintains edge integrity

The solid carbide body resists deflection and heat buildup during prolonged cutting cycles, allowing consistent performance across extended production runs. The necked geometry provides clearance for deep pocketing without shank interference, reducing vibration and chatter when the tool is fully engaged. This stability helps preserve dimensional accuracy over long machining sessions.

Standard shank fits common tool holders

The cutter installs directly into standard collets or hydraulic holders matching its shank diameter, requiring no specialised adapters. Proper clamping force is essential; insufficient grip can cause pull-out during heavy radial loads. Users should verify tool stick-out length to minimise runout and avoid exceeding the flute length during deep cuts.
