M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP 4 Flute Ball Nose End Mill
This M.A. Ford 16525000C Tuffcut GP end mill is a four-flute ball nose cutter designed for profiling and contouring tasks. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a stub-length tool for rigid setups and reduced deflection in general-purpose milling applications.
Shank Size and Machine Compatibility
Verify that your tool holder or collet accepts the cutter's shank diameter before ordering. Confirm the machine spindle provides adequate runout control and rigidity for a four-flute carbide geometry. Ensure your coolant or air delivery system matches the demands of the material being cut.
Upgrade From Two-Flute or Longer Tools
This stub-length, four-flute design replaces longer or fewer-flute cutters when increased rigidity and faster feed rates are required. The jump is worth it for harder materials or profile work where tool deflection limits surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the M.A. Ford 16525000C end mill and what must be purchased separately?
The box contains the 16525000C Tuffcut GP 4-flute ball-nose stub end mill. A compatible collet or tool holder for your milling machine is not included and must be bought separately.
How do I choose the right version of the 16525000C for my application?
The 16525000C is a single specification: a 1/4-inch diameter, 4-flute ball-nose stub end mill. Select it when your job requires that exact cutter geometry and shank size.
What does the 4-flute ball-nose stub design mean for real-world milling performance?
Four flutes give a smoother finish and higher feed rates in steel and hardened alloys, while the stub length adds rigidity for shallow pockets and contouring with less deflection.
