Tuffcut GP 4-Flute Ball Nose End Mill
This M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP end mill is a 4-flute ball nose cutter designed for general-purpose milling in a workshop or production environment. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a reliable tool for contouring, slotting and profiling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
1/8 inch cutting diameter
The single specification that determines fit is the 1/8 inch cutting diameter, which must match the required feature size and toolholder capacity. Selecting this diameter ensures the correct radius for the programmed tool path and avoids interference with the workpiece or fixture.
General-purpose milling capacity
The four-flute geometry provides sufficient chip evacuation and rigidity for a broad range of standard milling tasks, delivering consistent surface finish on typical shop materials. It is not intended for heavy roughing, high-feed strategies or specialised high-speed applications where dedicated geometries outperform it.

Questions about this item
How does the four-flute design affect chip evacuation in a real milling job?
Four flutes provide more cutting edges for a smoother finish, but the tighter flute spacing reduces chip space so feed rates must be lowered to prevent clogging.
What shank standard does the 14012500T use and what does that limit?
The tool uses a standard 1/8 inch shank, so it fits any collet or holder made for that diameter and cannot be used in larger holders without an adapter.
What physical clearance does the 1/8 inch ball nose need to reach a cavity floor?
The 1/8 inch diameter requires at least that much radial clearance, and the overall tool length must exceed the cavity depth plus the holder projection.
