M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP end mill

The M.A. Ford 15006250 Tuffcut GP is a 2-flute ball nose end mill designed for general-purpose milling in a 1/16 diameter. It is supplied new and intended for machinists and fabricators who need a reliable cutter for contouring and finishing operations on a range of materials.

Replacing worn or undersized cutters

This tool replaces dull or smaller-diameter end mills when a 1/16 ball profile is required for detailed work. The upgrade is worthwhile when the current cutter cannot hold tolerance or surface finish on the same material, or when a 2-flute geometry improves chip evacuation in the application.

Suited for general-purpose milling

The end mill suits shops running manual or CNC mills that need a standard 2-flute ball nose for profiling and slotting. Buyers who require a different flute count, a corner-radius profile, or a specialised coating for high-temperature alloys should look at other tooling options.

Questions about this item

What collet or holder size fits the 1/16 inch shank of the M.A. Ford 15006250 Tuffcut GP end mill?

Use a 1/16 inch collet or an ER collet with a 1/16 inch bore; the shank diameter matches the cutter diameter exactly.

How do I install the 2-flute ball nose end mill without damaging the cutting edges?

Insert the shank fully into the collet, tighten the collet nut to the holder's rated torque, and avoid tapping the flutes with any tool.

When should I replace the M.A. Ford 15006250 end mill based on wear?

Replace it when the ball radius shows visible flats, chipping appears on the flutes, or cutting forces and surface finish noticeably degrade.
