M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP End Mill
This M.A. Ford 14037500C Tuffcut GP end mill is a four-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 and profiling operations on various materials.
3/8 Inch Ball Nose Geometry
The single specification that decides fit is the 3/8 inch ball nose profile with four flutes, which determines the cutting radius and chip evacuation characteristics for the intended application. This geometry must match the toolpath and workpiece requirements exactly.
General-Purpose Capacity And Limits
The tool comfortably handles standard profiling and slotting tasks in common ferrous and non-ferrous alloys where a ball nose profile is specified. It runs out when the application demands a different diameter, flute count, or specialised coating not provided by this general-purpose design.
Highlights
- 4-flute design enables smooth contour milling
- Ball nose geometry produces accurate 3-D profiles
- TuffCut GP construction resists wear in tough materials
- 3/8 inch diameter suits a wide range of tasks
- New condition guarantees full factory performance

Questions about this item
How does the 4-flute ball-nose geometry affect finish quality in a milling machine?
Four flutes with a ball nose produce smoother contours and finer surface finishes on 3D profiles compared to fewer-flute tools.
What shank standard does the 14037500C use and what holders accept it?
The cutter uses a standard 3/8 inch shank, compatible with ER collets, Weldon flats and most 3/8 capacity end-mill holders.
What clearance and rigidity does the 3/8 diameter body need in a tool changer or spindle?
A 3/8 inch diameter requires at least a 3/8 collet or holder bore and enough spindle clearance for the overall tool length.
