M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP end mill for profiling
The M.A. Ford 16510930 Tuffcut GP is a four-flute ball-nose stub end mill with a 7/64 cutting diameter. It is intended for general-purpose profiling and contouring in a variety of materials. The stub length provides increased rigidity for shallow pocketing and finishing passes. Machinists and fabricators use it on CNC mills and manual machines alike.
Four-flute geometry maintains edge life under
The four-flute design distributes cutting forces across multiple edges, reducing deflection during extended tool paths. Ball-nose geometry allows smooth 3D contouring without leaving sharp corners. Stub construction minimises overhang, so vibration stays low even when the spindle runs at full engagement for long periods. Heat buildup remains manageable because each flute removes a consistent chip thickness.
Verify shank compatibility
Confirm that your tool holder accepts the shank diameter specified for this stub series. Check that the workpiece material falls within the general-purpose range the Tuffcut GP line addresses. California Proposition 65 notices indicate the presence of chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm, so follow shop safety procedures for handling and coolant disposal. Ensure your machine has adequate rigidity for four-flute stub tooling.

Questions about this item
How much noise or heat does the 16510930 end mill generate during continuous CNC operation?
The solid-carbide Tuffcut GP runs quietly in the spindle; heat stays low when feed and speed match the 4-flute ball-nose geometry.
What tool holder or collet must I already own to run the 7/64 shank on my machine?
A 7/64 ER collet or shrink-fit holder matching your spindle taper is required to clamp the stub-length shank securely.
Will the 16510930 work reliably on an older manual mill with limited spindle speed?
Yes — the 4-flute design cuts smoothly at modest RPM, but reduce feed to avoid chatter on less rigid machines.
