Sgs 00473 Ball End Mill 0.035 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00473 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and complex 3D profiles. With a 0.035-inch mill diameter and a 0.105-inch length of cut, this tool is built for small-feature work where tight tolerances are critical. The micrograin carbide construction delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for demanding cuts. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals working on CNC mills or manual machines in production and job-shop environments.

The SGS 00473 is well-suited for finishing and semi-finishing operations on small, intricate features in materials that demand tight dimensional control. Its single-end, right-hand cutting configuration with right-hand flute direction makes it a standard choice for conventional CNC milling setups. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits common collet sizes, making it easy to integrate into existing toolholding systems. This tool is appropriate for shops requiring consistent performance at very small diameters where rigidity and runout control are essential.

Key Features

• 0.035-inch ball end diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0008 inches for precise fitment
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for improved hardness and edge retention
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Uncoated finish suitable for applications where coating is not required or where re-sharpening is anticipated
• Single-end design with right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction
• Regular length type with 1.5-inch overall length and 1/8-inch shank for compatibility with standard collets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide ball end mill for CNC and manual milling machines accepting a 1/8-inch shank diameter. Part of SGS Series 1625.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with toolholding systems and cutting tool safety. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power is locked out before changing tooling. Verify collet condition and runout before use, as excessive runout at this diameter can cause premature tool breakage. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling guidelines for appropriate speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for the workpiece material.
