M.A. Ford 14015620T Tuffcut GP 4 Flute Ball Nose End Mill 5/32 pneumatic accessory

Tuffcut GP 4 Flute Ball Nose

The M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP 14015620T is a 4 flute ball nose end mill with a 5/32 diameter for general purpose milling. It suits machinists and maintenance teams cutting slots, profiles and contoured surfaces in steel, cast iron and non-ferrous alloys. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer. Orders of $75 or more qualify for free shipping.

Capacity and headroom

The four flute design gives good chip evacuation and finish quality on medium-depth cuts in a range of materials. It handles profiling and pocketing operations where a ball nose profile is required. The tool will reach its limit in very deep cavities or high-feed roughing where specialised geometries or coatings provide longer life. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Upgrade path

This end mill replaces worn or lower-flute-count ball nose cutters in general purpose tooling sets. The jump is worth it when a shop needs consistent finish quality across mixed materials without changing to application-specific cutters. It is not suited for high-volume production runs that demand dedicated high-performance geometries or for extremely hard materials requiring specialised substrates.
