3/16 End Mill for Contour Milling
The M.A. Ford 16518750T is a four-flute ball-nose end mill with a stub-length design. It is built for machinists and fabricators who need to cut contoured profiles or finish radii in a range of materials using CNC or manual milling equipment.
Check Shank Fit and Tool Holding
Verify that your machine spindle or collet system accepts the 3/16 shank diameter before ordering. Confirm that the tool holder provides enough clamping length for the stub body and that your controller can run the feed rates suited to a four-flute carbide geometry.
Fits Tight Pockets and Reduces Deflection
The stub length keeps the cutting edges close to the holder, which reduces deflection when reaching into shallow pockets or profiling near fixtures. It frees up Z-travel on compact machining centres and works with standard ER or Weldon holders without requiring extended reach tooling.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the M.A. Ford 16518750T end mill?
The package contains the single 3/16 inch Tuffcut Gp 4-flute ball-nose stub end mill. No additional holders, collets or lubricants are included.
Which version of the 16518750T should I choose for general-purpose milling?
This model is a single 3/16 inch diameter stub-length tool with four flutes and a ball nose, designed for general-purpose profiling and contouring in a range of materials.
How does the 4-flute ball-nose geometry perform in a CNC router?
The four-flute ball nose gives a smooth finish on 3D contours and allows higher feed rates than two-flute tools, while the stub length adds rigidity for reduced deflection.
