M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP End Mill
This M.A. Ford Tuffcut GP end mill is a 4 flute ball nose cutter sized at 5/16 inch for general purpose milling. It suits machinists and maintenance teams who need a reliable tool for contouring, profiling and slotting in a range of materials. The new condition means the cutting edges arrive sharp and ready for immediate use in the workshop.
Four Flute Ball Nose Geometry
The four flute design increases core strength and allows higher feed rates compared to two flute alternatives while the ball nose profile produces smooth radius cuts and 3D contours. Standard shank dimensions fit common ER collets, Weldon holders and shrink fit systems so the tool mounts quickly on most CNC mills and manual machines without special adapters.
California Proposition 65 Notice
This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning because it contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Normal machining generates dust and mist so use appropriate extraction, coolant and personal protective equipment to minimise exposure during operation.
