1.2 mm Ball Nose End Mill

The M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM is a two-flute carbide end mill with a 1.2 mm ball nose and a necked shank for reach in deep cavities. It suits CNC operators cutting complex 3-D contours in hardened steels and exotic alloys.

Straight-shank installation notes

The plain shank fits standard ER collets or shrink-fit holders without adapters. Excessive run-out or insufficient clamping length causes vibration that chips the ball nose, so verify holder concentricity before cutting.

Sustained contouring behaviour

Continuous 3-D profiling generates steady heat at the cutting edges; the necked design aids chip evacuation in deep pockets but reduces cross-sectional rigidity. Stable feeds prevent work hardening, while interrupted passes accelerate edge wear.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 1.2 mm ball nose end mill is cutting correctly after setup?

Run a test cut in the target material and check for a smooth finish, accurate radius and no chatter; the tool should produce clean contours without excessive vibration.

What comes in the box with the M.A. Ford Tuffcut DM 2 flute ball nose end mill and what must I source separately?

The package contains the single 1.2 mm necked end mill; tool holders, collets, coolant and workpiece fixturing are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which version of the Tuffcut DM necked ball nose end mill should I choose for a 1.2 mm radius job?

Select the 156M0120N8A model, which is the 1.2 mm diameter, 2 flute necked ball nose variant designed for that specific cutting radius.
