M.A. Ford 1.1 mm Ball Nose End Mill
The M.A. Ford 15004330 Tuffcut GP is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a 1.1 mm cutting diameter. It is designed for machinists and engineers who need precise contouring, profiling or finishing operations in a variety of materials. The tool suits CNC milling setups where small-radius detail work is required.
Two-Flute Carbide Construction
The two-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation while maintaining rigidity during light to medium cuts. Its solid carbide body resists wear and heat, supporting consistent performance across repeated passes. The ball nose profile allows smooth 3D surfacing without leaving sharp steps, reducing the need for secondary hand finishing.
Replaces Worn Small-Diameter Ball Mills
This end mill replaces dull or damaged 1.1 mm ball nose tools that no longer hold tolerance or surface finish. The upgrade is worthwhile when existing cutters show chatter, accelerated flank wear or inability to meet finish specifications on contoured parts. It is not suited for roughing large stock volumes or applications requiring higher flute counts for feed rates.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the 1.1 mm ball nose end mill need for a pneumatic collet?
The cutter has a 1.1 mm cutting diameter; match it with a collet or chuck that accepts a 1.1 mm shank for secure pneumatic operation.
What minimum flute length clearance is required to mount the Tuffcut GP 15004330 in a tool holder?
Allow enough axial space for the two-flute ball nose section to extend past the holder face without bottoming out in the spindle.
How do you install the 15004330 end mill in a pneumatic rotary tool without damaging the flutes?
Insert the shank fully into the collet, tighten evenly, and avoid side loading during the first plunge to prevent flute chipping.
