M.A. Ford 15005910 Tuffcut GP 2 flute ball nose end mill 1.5 mm pneumatic accessory

M.A. Ford 1.5 mm ball nose end mill

The M.A. Ford 15005910 Tuffcut GP is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a 1.5 mm cutting diameter. It is designed for profiling, slotting and contouring operations in a range of workpiece materials. The tool suits CNC machinists and general engineering workshops that need a small-radius cutter for detailed work. Buyers who need larger diameters or higher flute counts for heavy roughing should look elsewhere.

Two-flute geometry and cutting capacity

The two-flute design provides generous chip clearance for efficient evacuation in softer metals and plastics. Its 1.5 mm diameter allows precise access to tight internal radii and fine detail features. The cutter reaches its limit when material removal rates demand a heavier core or when the machine spindle cannot maintain the required speed for such a small tool. It is not suited for high-volume roughing passes.

Solid carbide construction and shank mounting

The solid carbide body delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent dimensional accuracy on small features. A standard cylindrical shank fits directly into ER collets, hydraulic holders or shrink-fit chucks without adapters. This simplicity reduces setup time and run-out risk in daily production. Workshops without precision tool-holding systems may not realise the full performance potential.
