TuffCut GP 4-flute ball-nose end mill

The M.A. Ford 14018750C is a solid-carbide rotary cutter designed for contouring and finishing operations in general-purpose machining. Its four-flute geometry and ball-nose profile suit CNC operators and tool-room staff who need smooth radius generation on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

3/16 inch cutting diameter

The single specification that determines fit is the 3/16 inch cutting diameter, which must match the programmed tool path and holder capacity. Selecting this diameter ensures the correct step-over and reach for the intended feature size.

General-purpose profiling capacity

The four-flute design provides sufficient chip evacuation and rigidity for light-to-medium profiling passes in steel, aluminium and plastics. Heavy roughing or deep-pocket work with high material-removal rates will exceed the tool's available flute volume and deflection limits.

Questions about this item

How does the four-flute design affect chip clearance when profiling steel?

Four flutes give a finer finish and higher feed rates in steel, but the tighter chip space requires rigid toolholding and adequate coolant to avoid re-cutting chips.

What shank standard does the 14018750C end mill use?

The cutter is built on a standard 3/16 inch straight shank that fits common ER collets, Weldon flats and shrink-fit holders without adapters.

What holder length is needed to clear the full flute length on a 3/16 inch ball nose?

A standard 3/16 inch collet or end-mill holder with at least 2 inch gauge length provides enough clearance for the flute and neck transition.
