M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP 2 Flute Ball Nose End Mill
The M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP is a two-flute ball nose end mill with a 3/16 inch cutting diameter. It is manufactured by M.A. Ford for general-purpose milling in a range of materials. The tool suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a reliable cutter for profiling and contouring operations. This item is supplied new and ships directly from the manufacturer.
Sustained cutting performance
The two-flute design provides efficient chip evacuation during extended milling passes, reducing the risk of chip packing in deep slots or pockets. Ball nose geometry maintains consistent contact radius for smooth 3D contouring under continuous load. The Tuffcut GP substrate resists wear during prolonged engagement, supporting steady material removal rates without frequent tool changes. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the product.
Build quality and shank mounting
The solid carbide construction delivers rigidity that minimises deflection when the tool is clamped in a standard collet or end mill holder. A precision-ground shank ensures concentric rotation, which preserves surface finish and dimensional accuracy during daily use. The cutter arrives new from M.A. Ford, ready for immediate installation in CNC mills or manual machining centres. Orders of $75 or more qualify for free shipping from the manufacturer.
