Sgs 00301 Square End Mill 0.005 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00301 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision micro-machining operations. With a cutting diameter of 0.005 inches and a length of cut of 0.008 inches, this tool is engineered for fine detail work in tight tolerances. The stub-length geometry and straight cylindrical shank of 0.125 inches provide rigidity during cutting. Micrograin carbide construction supports cutting hardness and edge retention in demanding materials. The 30-degree helix angle and spiral flute design promote efficient chip evacuation. This is a centercutting, right-hand cut, right-hand flute tool with an uncoated finish. A licensed machinist or toolroom professional typically selects this tool for miniature milling applications requiring extreme dimensional control.

The SGS 00301 is suited for precision milling in industries such as medical device manufacturing, aerospace component work, electronics fabrication, and mold-and-die machining. Its stub-length profile makes it appropriate for applications where workholding clearance is limited and tool deflection must be minimized. The 1.5-inch overall length and 0.125-inch shank diameter are compatible with standard collet and end mill holder systems used on CNC machining centers and precision manual mills. This tool operates within a length of cut range up to 0.100 inches.

Key Features

• 0.005 inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0008 inches for precision fitment
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and wear resistance
• 30-degree helix angle with spiral flute design for effective chip flow
• Centercutting capability allows plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Stub-length classification provides added rigidity for micro-milling applications
• Uncoated finish suitable for applications where coating interaction with workpiece material is a concern

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit tool for CNC machining centers and precision manual mills accepting a 0.125 inch straight cylindrical shank. Compatible with standard ER collets and end mill holders sized for 0.125 inch shank tools.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify collet or tool holder runout with a dial indicator before cutting to maintain the tight tolerances this tool diameter demands. Do not exceed manufacturer-recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material, as micro-diameter carbide tools are brittle and susceptible to breakage under side loading or chatter conditions.
