Precision milling tool
The M.A. Ford 15003940A Tuffcut Gp end mill is a two-flute ball nose cutter with a 1.0 mm cutting diameter. It is built for precision contouring, profiling and finishing operations in a variety of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolmakers select it when tight radius detail and smooth surface finish are required.
CNC spindle integration
The cutter mounts directly into a compatible collet or tool holder on a CNC milling machine or high-speed spindle. Its two-flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in slots and deep pockets, reducing the need for frequent tool withdrawal. The solid carbide construction withstands the heat and vibration of continuous automated cycles.
1.0 mm cutting capacity
The 1.0 mm ball nose radius handles intricate 3D contours, small fillets and detailed engraving with minimal stepover marks. Tool life decreases when feed rates exceed the flute capacity or when cutting highly abrasive alloys without coolant. Larger roughing passes or wider floor clearance demand a bigger diameter tool.

Questions about this item
How quickly will the 1.0 mm ball nose wear under continuous cutting?
The 1.0 mm diameter and two-flute geometry concentrate cutting forces on a small radius, so tool life under sustained use is limited by edge wear and potential chipping in hard materials.
Does the carbide cutter generate noticeable heat or vibration during extended runs?
Solid carbide construction transmits heat rapidly into the workpiece and spindle, while the two-flute design produces a distinct cutting frequency that can be felt as vibration during long sessions.
What shank size must my tool holder accommodate for this end mill?
The 1.0 mm cutting diameter typically pairs with a 3 mm or 1/8 inch shank, so a collet or chuck that grips that shank diameter is required for secure clamping.
