M.A. Ford 5.0 mm Ball Nose End Mill
This M.A. Ford 16519680A Tuffcut GP end mill has a 5.0 mm cutting diameter and a four-flute ball nose geometry. The stub-length design increases rigidity for profiling and contouring operations. It is supplied new and intended for general-purpose milling tasks.
For general-purpose profiling and finishing
Machinists needing a rigid, short-length cutter for 3D contouring or pocket finishing will find this tool suitable. Buyers who require a longer reach for deep cavities should look at alternative lengths. Those needing a different flute count or cutting diameter must select another model.
5.0 mm cutting diameter decides fit
The 5.0 mm diameter determines whether this end mill matches the required feature size or tool path. Verify the programmed radius and machine capability before purchase. California Proposition 65 warnings apply as the product contains listed chemicals.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 5.0 mm ball nose end mill in my tool holder, and what step is often missed?
Use a collet or chuck sized for the 5.0 mm shank, tighten to the holder’s rated torque, and verify the stub length clears the workpiece before starting the spindle.
What maintenance or replacement will the 16519680A end mill need over time?
Inspect the four flutes and ball nose for wear or chipping after each job; resharpen or replace the cutter when edge quality drops or the 5.0 mm diameter falls below tolerance.
What limit appears first on the Tuffcut GP during sustained cutting?
Heat buildup at the ball nose and flute edges is the primary limit; control feed, speed, and coolant to prevent premature wear of the 5.0 mm cutting diameter.
