M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP Ball Nose End Mill
The M.A. Ford 16523620A is a 6.0 mm diameter ball nose end mill with four flutes and a stub length. It is designed for machinists and engineers who need precise contouring and profiling in a variety of materials. The tool is supplied new and ready for immediate use in CNC milling operations.
Four-flute stub geometry for rigid setups
The four-flute design increases core strength and allows higher feed rates when the workpiece and machine are rigid. A stub length reduces deflection and vibration, freeing up clearance in tight cavities or when using shorter tool holders. This geometry suits finishing passes where tool overhang must be minimised.
Replaces longer or two-flute ball nose tools
Switching from a standard-length or two-flute ball nose cutter is worthwhile when rigidity is the limiting factor and chip evacuation is manageable. The shorter reach and extra flutes improve surface finish and tool life in stable conditions. It is not suited for deep-pocket roughing where long reach or large chip gullets are required.

Questions about this item
What tool holder size accepts the 6.0 mm shank on the M.A. Ford 16523620A end mill?
The cutter has a 6.0 mm shank diameter, so it fits any standard ER collet, Weldon flat holder or shrink-fit chuck bored for 6 mm tooling.
How much heat builds up in the M.A. Ford 16523620A stub-length ball nose during a full-day production run?
The stub length reduces deflection, which lowers cutting forces and heat generation compared with longer flute lengths in the same material.
Which machine spindle interface is required to run the M.A. Ford 16523620A 4-flute ball nose end mill?
Any CNC milling spindle that accepts a 6.0 mm straight shank — CAT, BT, HSK or ISO taper with the correct collet or holder — will drive this cutter.
