Tuffcut GP 4-Flute Ball Nose End Mill 10.0 mm
This M.A. Ford solid-carbide end mill carries part number 16539370A and a 10.0 mm cutting diameter with four flutes and a ball-nose profile. The stub-length design increases rigidity for profiling and contouring operations in a variety of materials. It is supplied new and classified under power and pneumatic accessories for workshop use.
Stub-length rigidity for sustained profiling cuts
The short flute length reduces deflection when the tool is engaged for extended periods in pocketing or 3-D contouring work. Four flutes distribute chip load evenly, helping maintain dimensional accuracy and surface finish during prolonged machining cycles. California Proposition 65 notices indicate the product contains chemicals recognised by the State of California as carcinogenic and as reproductive toxins.
Verify shank compatibility and material suitability
Confirm that your tool holder or collet accepts the shank diameter of this 10.0 mm end mill before ordering. Ensure the workpiece material and your machine’s spindle speed range are appropriate for a four-flute carbide ball-nose cutter. Review the Proposition 65 warnings so that required safety controls and personal protective equipment are in place.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 10.0 mm carbide end mill generate during continuous milling?
The solid carbide cutter produces heat proportional to feed rate and material; use coolant or air blast to manage temperature during extended runs.
What tool holder or collet is required to secure the 10.0 mm shank?
A standard ER collet, shrink-fit holder or hydraulic chuck sized for a 10.0 mm shank will clamp the stub-length tool securely.
Will the 4-flute ball nose geometry work on a manual Bridgeport mill with R8 spindle?
Yes, the stub length and 10.0 mm shank fit R8 collets; reduce rpm and feed to match the machine's rigidity and avoid chatter.
