Product Identity
The M.A. Ford 16503940 Tuffcut GP is a four-flute ball-nose end mill with a 1.0 mm cutting diameter. It is manufactured as a power and pneumatic accessory for milling operations.
Target Users
This tool suits machinists and maintenance teams needing a small-diameter ball-nose cutter for contouring or finishing work. Buyers who require a larger cutting diameter or a different flute count should look at alternative options.
Capacity and Headroom
The 1.0 mm diameter provides precision in tight features and shallow profiles. The stub length limits reach in deep cavities, so the tool runs out of effective length quickly on taller parts.
Highlights
- 4-flute design gives smoother finish on contour cuts
- Ball nose profile enables 3D profiling and radius work
- Stub length adds rigidity for shallow pocketing
- 0 mm diameter suits fine-detail milling

Questions about this item
What size collet or tool holder do I need for the 1.0 mm shank on this M.A. Ford 16503940 end mill?
Use a collet or shrink-fit holder sized for a 1.0 mm shank; the stub-length design keeps overhang short for rigid milling.
Can I run this 4-flute ball nose cutter in a standard pneumatic die grinder, or does it need a CNC spindle?
It is designed for CNC milling spindles; pneumatic die grinders typically lack the run-out control and torque needed for a 1.0 mm carbide tool.
How can I verify the tool is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for a smooth, chatter-free finish and measure the radius with a gauge; the 4-flute geometry should leave consistent ball-nose profiles.
