Sgs 00674 Ball End Mill 0.0100 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00674 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of contoured surfaces, slots, and 3D profiles in metalworking and machining applications. Built to Series 1635 specifications, it features a 0.0100 inch cutting diameter with a 0.0150 inch length of cut, a 30-degree helix angle, and a stub-length geometry that maximizes rigidity at small diameters. The micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention required for fine-detail work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish suits a wide range of workpiece materials where coating interaction is a concern. This tool is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals operating CNC mills and machining centers.

The SGS 00674 is suited for small-feature profiling, micro-milling, and finish passes on contoured or sculptured surfaces. Its 0.0100 inch diameter and stub-length design make it appropriate for work requiring close tolerances and minimal deflection. The 1/8 inch shank diameter allows direct mounting in standard collets and tool holders used on CNC vertical machining centers and high-speed spindles. Typical applications include mold and die finishing, medical device component machining, and precision aerospace part production where small radii and tight tolerances are required.

Key Features

• 0.0100 inch ball nose cutting diameter for fine-detail and micro-milling work
• 0.0150 inch length of cut in a stub-length configuration for maximum rigidity
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for edge retention and hardness
• 30-degree right-hand spiral helix for efficient chip evacuation
• 2-flute, single-end geometry with right-hand cutting direction
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 1635 solid carbide ball end mill compatible with standard 1/8 inch collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and high-speed spindles used in precision metalworking.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, powered-down state before changing tooling. Use a calibrated collet or shrink-fit holder matched to the 1/8 inch shank diameter to minimize runout. At sub-0.1 inch diameters, tool projection and runout are critical factors — verify setup with a dial indicator before beginning a cut.
