M.A. Ford 5.0 mm Ball Nose End Mill

The M.A. Ford 15019680A Tuffcut GP is a 5.0 mm two-flute ball nose end mill designed for contouring and profiling in milling operations. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a general-purpose cutter for creating radii and complex curves in metal or plastic workpieces.

Upgrading from worn or single-flute cutters

Replacing a dull or single-flute tool with this two-flute design improves chip evacuation and surface finish on contoured surfaces. The jump is worthwhile when existing tooling leaves poor radius definition or requires excessive passes to achieve the required profile.

Practical limits of the 5.0 mm shank and geometry

The 5.0 mm diameter restricts the minimum internal radius that can be machined and limits material removal rates on larger cavities. Users needing tighter corner radii or higher feed rates on heavy stock must select a smaller or larger diameter tool respectively.

Questions about this item

What shank size does the 5.0 mm M.A. Ford 15019680A end mill need for my collet?

The cutter has a 5.0 mm cutting diameter; match your collet or holder to that shank size for a secure fit.

How do I install the 2 flute ball nose end mill without causing run-out?

Clean the collet and shank, insert the tool fully, then tighten the collet nut to the manufacturer's torque spec — skipping the cleaning step is the common cause of run-out.

When should I replace the 15019680A Tuffcut GP end mill?

Replace it when the ball nose shows visible wear, chipping, or when surface finish degrades; the California Proposition 65 notice also reminds you to handle worn carbide dust safely.
