M.A. Ford 16512500T Tuffcut GP 4 Flute Ball Nose End Mill Stub 1/8 pneumatic accessory

Tuffcut GP 4-flute ball nose end mill

The M.A. Ford 16512500T is a solid-carbide rotary cutter designed for general-purpose milling in a variety of metals. Its stub length and 1/8 inch shank suit CNC machines and high-speed pneumatic spindles where rigidity matters. The four-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with finish quality for profiling and slotting tasks. Machinists and maintenance shops select it for repeatable contour work.

Prop 65 notice and manufacturer-direct shipping

California Proposition 65 warnings flag the presence of substances linked to cancer and reproductive harm, so operators should follow standard coolant and dust-collection practice. The supplier notes that orders of 75 dollars or more ship free and that the item ships directly from the manufacturer. These commercial terms do not alter the tool’s cutting performance or material composition. Buyers simply factor the notices into their shop safety procedures.

Solid carbide stub construction with 1/8 shank

The stub overall length increases rigidity and reduces deflection during heavy cuts, while the 1/8 inch shank fits standard ER collets and pneumatic tool holders without adapters. Solid carbide resists wear in steel, cast iron and non-ferrous alloys, extending tool life between changes. The ball nose profile produces smooth radii in 3-D surfacing and finish passes. Shops without 1/8 inch holding capacity cannot use this cutter.
