M.A. Ford 16537500 Tuffcut GP end mill
This four-flute ball-nose stub end mill is built for general-purpose milling in a range of materials. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a rigid, short-length tool for contouring and profiling operations.
California Proposition 65 notice
The product contains a chemical identified by the State of California as a cause of cancer and a chemical identified as a cause of birth defects or other reproductive harm. Buyers should review the warning and follow any workplace safety requirements that apply to their facility.
Check toolholder and machine compatibility
Verify that your toolholder accepts a 3/8 inch shank and that the machine spindle can run the cutter at appropriate speeds for the material being cut. Confirm the stub length provides enough reach for the workpiece without excessive overhang. Orders of 75 or more ship free from the manufacturer.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 16537500 or another Tuffcut GP stub mill for my job?
The 16537500 is the exact M.A. Ford part number for a 3/8-inch diameter, four-flute ball-nose stub end mill; choose it when that size and flute count match your toolpath requirements.
What does the 3/8-inch ball-nose stub geometry actually do in the cut?
The 3/8-inch diameter sets the maximum width of cut, the ball nose produces a radiused bottom for 3-D profiling, and the stub length keeps overhang short for rigidity in shallow pockets.
What shank standard does the 16537500 use and what holder does it need?
The mill is made with a standard 3/8-inch straight shank, so it fits any 3/8-inch ER collet, Weldon flat holder or shrink-fit chuck rated for that shank diameter.
