M.A. Ford 2.5 mm Ball Nose End Mill

The M.A. Ford 15009840A Tuffcut Gp is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a 2.5 mm cutting diameter. It is designed for contouring and profiling tasks in CNC milling operations. Machinists and fabricators select this tool when a small-radius ball profile is required for detailed work.

2.5 mm cutting diameter defines the tool

The 2.5 mm diameter is the single specification that determines whether this end mill matches the required feature size and machine capability. Buyers needing a larger or smaller radius for their programmed toolpaths cannot use this specific cutter. No other diameter or flute count is offered under this part number.

No accessories or software included

The product ships as a single cutting tool without collets, holders, lubricants or programming software. Users must supply their own tool-holding system and CAM setup. The absence of bundled items means the purchaser acquires only the end mill itself.

Questions about this item

How does the 2.5 mm ball nose diameter affect the finish when profiling in a CNC mill?

The 2.5 mm ball nose radius produces a smooth scallop height on contoured surfaces, allowing fine detail passes without leaving visible steps.

What shank standard does the Tuffcut GP end mill use for tool holder compatibility?

The cutter follows common fractional shank sizing for 2.5 mm diameter tools, fitting standard ER collets and shrink-fit holders used in milling spindles.

What clearance is needed in the tool changer or spindle for this 2.5 mm diameter end mill?

The compact 2.5 mm cutting diameter and short overall length allow it to sit in tight tool changer pockets and clear narrow workpiece features during operation.
