  • M.A. Ford quality delivers reliable performance in pneumatic setups
  • California Prop 65 notice informs safe handling practices

Application

The M.A. Ford 14031500A Tuffcut GP is a four-flute ball nose end mill with an 8.0 mm cutting diameter. It is designed for general-purpose milling in a range of materials. Machinists and fabricators use it for contouring, profiling and slotting operations on CNC or manual machines.

Sustained Use

The four-flute geometry promotes stable chip evacuation during extended cutting passes. This design helps maintain consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy when the tool is engaged for longer periods. Carbide construction resists wear under continuous load, reducing the frequency of tool changes.

Build & Mounting

The solid carbide body provides rigidity that minimises deflection in daily shop use. A standard shank allows direct clamping in common collets and end mill holders without adapters. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, so appropriate personal protective equipment and ventilation are advised during handling and machining.

Questions about this item

Does the 8.0 mm diameter Tuffcut GP end mill generate noticeable heat or noise during extended milling sessions?

The solid-carbide 4-flute ball-nose cutter produces heat at the cutting zone proportional to feed rate and material; use flood coolant or mist to manage temperature and reduce audible chatter.

What tool-holding system must I already own to run the 14031500A 8.0 mm shank end mill?

You need a milling spindle or router equipped with an 8 mm collet, ER collet set, shrink-fit holder or hydraulic chuck that accepts an 8.0 mm shank.

Will the 8.0 mm ball-nose geometry work reliably on older manual knee mills or early CNC machines I still operate?

Yes — the 4-flute Tuffcut GP design cuts cleanly at the lower spindle speeds and feed rates typical of legacy equipment, provided the holder runs true and the machine has adequate rigidity.
