M.A. Ford 140L1562GX Ball Nose End Mill
This new M.A. Ford 140L1562GX end mill is a four-flute ball nose cutter supplied under the TuffCut GP range. It is intended for machinists and maintenance teams who need a general-purpose tool for contouring and profiling operations in a workshop or production environment.
Four-flute geometry and ball nose profile
The four-flute design increases the number of cutting edges engaged during each revolution, which can improve feed rates and surface finish compared with fewer-flute alternatives. The ball nose tip enables smooth radius generation and 3-D contouring without leaving sharp corners on the workpiece.
Solid carbide construction with Prop 65 notice
The cutter is manufactured from solid carbide for wear resistance and rigidity during milling. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the product contains chemicals recognised by the state as causing cancer and reproductive harm, so appropriate personal protective equipment and ventilation should be used during machining.

Questions about this item
When will the four-flute ball nose cutter need resharpening or replacement?
Replace the 140L1562GX when the ball nose radius wears beyond tolerance or when flute edges show chipping that affects finish quality.
What limits continuous cutting time before the tool overheats?
Heat buildup in the carbide substrate is the first limit; sustained feeds without coolant will degrade the GX coating and reduce edge life.
How much power does the spindle draw when running this end mill all day?
Power draw depends on the machine spindle and material; the cutter itself adds no electrical load beyond the cutting forces it generates.
