Constructed from micrograin solid carbide and coated with TiN (Titanium Nitride), it delivers consistent cutting performance and extended tool life compared to uncoated HSS alternatives. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. With a 0.5-inch mill diameter and 0.625-inch length of cut, this stub-length end mill is suited for contouring, profiling, and finishing operations where rigidity and accuracy are critical. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers will find it well-matched to production and close-tolerance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use on CNC machining centers and manual mills where ball-nose geometry is required for 3D contouring, radius profiling, and blending surfaces. It accommodates a broad range of workpiece materials including hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys, as indicated by workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The double-end design maximizes value per tool, allowing the operator to index to a fresh cutting end when the first is worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute configuration for standard CNC spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub-length (Series 14B) for maximum rigidity in tight setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys.

Secure the shank fully into a collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.5-inch shank diameter, ensuring runout is within acceptable tolerance before cutting. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before engaging the cut. Never exceed the recommended length of cut; excessive overhang beyond the flute length can cause deflection or tool breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 to -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31480\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67651224830258,"sku":"31480","price":184.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8c7f9bc293b62f37dbab7b38f901a0bb.jpg?v=1790462318","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kyocera-sgs-31480-ball-end-mill-0-5in-4-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
