M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP End Mill

The M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP is a four-flute ball nose end mill with a stub length and a 3/16 cutting diameter. It is manufactured for general-purpose milling in a variety of materials. The tool carries the manufacturer part number 16518750A and is supplied in new condition.

Machinists needing a rigid stub tool

This end mill suits CNC operators and machinists who require a short, rigid tool for contouring, slotting or pocketing with a ball profile. Buyers who need a longer reach, a different flute count or a corner-radius geometry should look at other tooling options.

Stub length aids stability under load

The stub overall length reduces deflection when the cutter is engaged in sustained profiling passes. The four-flute design supports consistent chip evacuation during extended cuts. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains listed chemicals.

Questions about this item

What milling machine or CNC router do I need to run the 3/16-inch shank on the 16518750A end mill?

Any mill or router with a 3/16-inch collet or compatible tool holder will accept the 16518750A shank directly.

Can I keep using my existing 1/4-inch collet set when I add this 3/16-inch Tuffcut GP end mill?

A 1/4-inch collet will not grip the 3/16-inch shank securely; you need a 3/16-inch collet or a reducing sleeve.

How do I verify the 16518750A is cutting correctly after the first pass?

Check for a smooth hemispherical profile, consistent chip load on all four flutes, and no chatter marks on the workpiece.
