What this tool does
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP end mill is a two-flute ball-nose cutter designed for contouring and profiling in milling machines. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a new 8.0 mm tool for general-purpose metal removal.
What to verify before use
Confirm your milling machine accepts an 8.0 mm shank and that the tool holder provides adequate clamping force. The product carries a California Proposition 65 notice for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm, so review safety data sheets before machining.
Behaviour during extended cuts
The two-flute geometry allows chip evacuation in continuous profiling passes. Sustained performance depends on spindle speed, feed rate and coolant strategy matching the workpiece material.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the 15031500A end mill and what must I supply?
The box contains the single 8.0 mm ball-nose end mill; you must provide a compatible tool holder, collet or chuck and a milling machine or router capable of accepting an 8 mm shank.
How do I decide whether the 8.0 mm diameter is the right choice for my job?
Choose the 8.0 mm size when your design calls for an 8 mm radius contour or pocket; smaller diameters give finer detail, larger ones remove material faster but need more machine rigidity.
What does the 2-flute ball-nose geometry mean for real-world cutting?
Two flutes provide good chip clearance in softer materials and the ball nose produces smooth 3-D contours, but feed rates must be reduced compared with roughing cutters to avoid tool deflection.
