Precision Ball Nose End Mill
The M.A. Ford 15007871 Tuffcut GP is a 2.0 mm two-flute ball nose end mill designed for precision contouring and 3D profiling in CNC milling applications. Its carbide construction suits general-purpose machining across a range of materials where a smooth radius finish is required.
Upgrading From Standard Cutters
This tool replaces basic high-speed steel or single-flute ball cutters when improved surface quality and longer edge life are needed on contoured surfaces. The step up is justified when production volumes or finish specifications exceed the capability of commodity tooling.
Direct Collet Installation
The shank fits directly into standard ER or shrink-fit holders matching the shank diameter, requiring no adapters or special fixtures. Common issues include excessive tool stick-out causing chatter and premature wear if feed rates are not matched to the two-flute geometry.
Highlights
- 2-flute ball nose profiles contours smoothly
- 0 mm diameter suits fine-detail milling
- TuffCut GP coating resists wear longer
- M.A. Ford quality backs every cut
- New condition ensures full tool life

Questions about this item
What collet or chuck size is required for the 2.0 mm shank?
The end mill has a 2.0 mm shank diameter, so it fits any 2.0 mm collet or ER collet reduced to that size.
How do I install the cutter without damaging the ball nose?
Insert the shank fully into the collet, tighten to the holder's rated torque, and avoid side-loading the flutes during tool changes.
When should the cutter be replaced based on wear?
Replace it when the ball radius shows visible flattening, chipping on the two flutes, or when surface finish degrades on contour passes.
