Product Identity

The M.A. Ford 15011810 Tuffcut GP is a 3.0 mm diameter ball nose end mill with two flutes, designed for general-purpose milling in a variety of materials. It is supplied new as a power and pneumatic accessory for use in compatible tool holders and machining centres.

Suitability

This cutter suits machinists and maintenance teams needing a small-radius ball profile for contouring, profiling or finishing operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is not intended for buyers who require a larger cutting diameter, a higher flute count for faster feed rates, or a specialised coating for high-temperature alloys.

Setup Checks

Verify that your machine spindle and tool holder accept a 3.0 mm shank and can provide the rigidity needed for a two-flute ball nose geometry. Confirm that your coolant or lubrication arrangement is adequate for the material being cut and review the California Proposition 65 notices regarding chemical exposure before use.

Questions about this item

Which collet size do I need on my milling machine or router to hold the 3.0 mm shank?

Use a 3 mm ER collet or a 3 mm Weldon flat holder so the shank seats fully and runs true.

Can I run this 2-flute ball nose cutter in the same tool changer slots as my older 4-flute end mills?

Yes — it fits any standard 3 mm tool holder, so it will load and unload alongside your existing cutters without changer modifications.

How do I confirm the ball radius is cutting correctly after the first pass?

Measure the scallop height on the test workpiece with a dial indicator; a smooth, consistent radius equal to half the 3 mm diameter shows the tool is running on centre.
