Product identity

The M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP 14003940 is a 4-flute ball-nose end mill with a 1.0 mm cutting diameter. It is manufactured for precision milling operations in a range of materials. Machinists and tool-room engineers select it for contouring and finishing tasks that require a rounded profile. The tool is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.

Thermals noise power

As a solid carbide rotary cutter, the tool generates heat only through friction during cutting. Normal use produces no electrical noise and draws no power of its own; thermal load and sound level depend entirely on the machine spindle, feed rate and coolant strategy employed by the operator.

Deciding specification

The 1.0 mm ball-nose diameter is the single dimension that determines whether this cutter matches the required radius and feature size. Buyers who need a larger or smaller radius, a different flute count, or a corner-radius geometry must select another tool. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains a listed chemical.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1.0 mm ball nose end mill in my collet without run-out?

Clean the shank and collet bore, insert the tool to the recommended depth, and tighten the collet nut evenly with a torque wrench to avoid eccentric rotation.

When will the 4 flute ball nose cutter need replacement?

Replace the end mill when the cutting edges show visible chipping or when the ball radius no longer produces the required surface finish.

What limit appears first during prolonged profiling with the 1.0 mm tool?

The small diameter causes deflection and heat buildup before flank wear becomes critical, so reduce axial depth and use coolant to extend tool life.
