M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill Necked 0.80mm

M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM End Mill

The M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a necked design and a 0.80 mm cutting diameter. It is intended for precision milling tasks where a small-radius tool can reach into tight features. Machinists working on detailed contours or finishing passes will find the geometry suited to controlled material removal. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

Capacity and headroom: 0.80 mm cutter

The 0.80 mm diameter gives the cutter enough reach for fine detail work while maintaining rigidity through the necked shank. It handles light finishing passes in softer metals and plastics without excessive deflection. The two-flute layout limits chip space, so heavy roughing or deep slotting will overload the flutes and reduce tool life. Users needing larger step-overs or higher material-removal rates should select a larger-diameter tool.

California Proposition 65 notice included

The product documentation includes a California Proposition 65 warning stating the item contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. This notice does not change the tool’s cutting performance or geometry. It informs the buyer to follow standard shop safety practices such as ventilation, dust collection and personal protective equipment. No additional accessories or software are bundled with the end mill.
