Product identity

The M.A. Ford 16562500 Tuffcut Gp end mill is a four-flute ball-nose cutter with a 5/8 stub length, designed for precision contouring and finishing in milling operations. It is supplied new as a power and pneumatic accessory for professional machining environments.

Intended users and limitations

This tool suits machinists who need a short, rigid ball-nose profile for detailed 3D profiling or radius work in a range of materials. It does not suit buyers who require extended reach, a different flute count, or a larger cutting diameter than the stub configuration provides.

Sustained-load behaviour

The four-flute geometry promotes stable chip evacuation and consistent surface finish during prolonged cutting passes, reducing vibration compared with two-flute alternatives. Heat buildup remains manageable in continuous profiling when appropriate coolant and feed rates are maintained.

Questions about this item

What collet size does the 5/8 shank on the 16562500 end mill need?

The 16562500 has a 5/8 shank, so a 5/8 collet or a matching ER collet with a 5/8 bore is required for a secure fit.

Can the 4-flute ball nose on the 16562500 replace a 2-flute cutter on my older mill?

The 4-flute design on the 16562500 gives a finer finish but clears chips slower than a 2-flute; reduce feed rate or use air blast when slotting deep.

How do I verify the 16562500 is cutting correctly after install?

Listen for a steady, low hum and check for a smooth, scallop-free radius on the workpiece; chatter or rough finish means the tool is dull or the holder is loose.
