M.A. Ford 14047240 Tuffcut GP End Mill
This M.A. Ford 14047240 Tuffcut GP end mill is a 12.0 mm diameter ball nose cutter with four flutes. It is supplied as a new power and pneumatic accessory for milling operations. The tool suits machinists and maintenance teams cutting contours and complex profiles in metal.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
The 4 flute ball nose geometry serves operators finishing 3D surfaces and radii in a single pass. Buyers needing a flat bottom, corner radius or roughing profile should select a different cutter style. Shops requiring a different diameter or flute count must choose another part number.
12.0 mm ball nose diameter decides fit
The 12.0 mm cutting diameter sets the minimum radius and stepover achievable on the workpiece. Match this dimension to the feature size and machine capacity before ordering. The 14047240 part number confirms the exact tool specification.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 12.0 mm ball nose end mill in my collet without runout?
Clean the shank and collet bore thoroughly, insert the tool to the full gripping length, and tighten the collet nut to the holder manufacturer's torque spec while the tool is seated against the back stop.
What maintenance or replacement will the 4 flute ball nose end mill need later?
Inspect the flutes after each job for built-up edge or chipping; replace the cutter when the ball radius shows visible wear or when surface finish degrades beyond tolerance.
What limit appears first on the 14047240 under sustained cutting?
Heat buildup at the ball nose typically limits sustained cuts before flank wear becomes critical, so reduce feed or use coolant to manage temperature.
