M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP End Mill

The M.A. Ford 14011810 is a 4 flute ball nose end mill with a 3.0 mm cutting diameter. It is manufactured by M.A. Ford for use as a power and pneumatic accessory. The tool is designed for profiling and contouring operations in milling applications. This item is supplied in new condition.

Machinists cutting complex 3D contours

This end mill suits CNC operators and manual machinists who need to produce radii and organic shapes in metal. The ball nose geometry allows smooth finishing passes on curved surfaces. Buyers who require square shoulders or flat-bottomed pockets should look at square end or corner radius tools instead. High-volume roughing jobs may also benefit from a different flute design.

3.0 mm ball nose cutting diameter

The 3.0 mm diameter determines the minimum radius this cutter can produce and the step-over possible for finishing passes. It directly controls the surface finish quality and the machining time for a given contour. Verify that your machine holder and spindle can accommodate this shank size before purchase. The tool carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3.0 mm ball-nose end mill or a different diameter?

The 3.0 mm diameter suits light profiling and finishing passes in softer materials; select a larger diameter when you need more rigidity or a smaller one for tighter internal radii.

What does the four-flute ball-nose geometry actually do in the cut?

Four flutes give a finer finish and higher feed rates than two-flute tools, while the ball nose produces smooth 3-D contours and rounded bottom slots.

How does the Prop 65 warning affect daily workshop use?

The warning flags chemicals known to California to cause cancer or reproductive harm; follow normal shop hygiene — wear gloves, avoid inhaling dust, and wash hands after handling.
