Tuffcut GP 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill is a 3.0 mm cutting tool designed for profiling and contouring tasks. Its two-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in a range of materials. This accessory suits CNC and manual milling operations requiring a ball nose profile.
Suited for general-purpose milling.
Machinists and fabricators performing 3D contour work or finishing passes will find this tool appropriate. The two-flute design balances material removal and surface finish for general-purpose use. Shops needing higher flute counts for faster feed rates in dedicated production runs should evaluate alternative geometries.
Fits standard 3.0 mm tool holders
The 3.0 mm shank fits compatible collets and holders without adapters. Ball nose geometry allows smooth 3D surface interpolation without requiring specialised corner-radius tooling. This simplifies tool libraries and reduces changeover time for complex profiles.

Questions about this item
What size collet or chuck is required for the 3.0 mm shank?
A 3.0 mm collet or a chuck that closes to 3.0 mm is needed to hold the shank securely.
Can this 2 flute ball nose mill run in a drill press with a Jacobs chuck?
It is designed for milling machines with rigid collets; a drill press chuck may not grip the 3.0 mm shank tightly enough for side loads.
How do I confirm the tool is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for a smooth hemispherical finish and listen for steady cutting sound without chatter on the workpiece.
