Sgs 00822 Square End Mill 0.016 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00822 is a square end mill designed for precision milling in tight-tolerance applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it offers the hardness and wear resistance needed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 0.016 inch cutting diameter and 0.048 inch length of cut make it well suited for fine detail work, micro-slot cutting, and profiling in confined geometries. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. This end mill is centercutting, allowing it to plunge directly into the workpiece. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of tooling in CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring small-diameter precision cutters.

This end mill is typically used in applications demanding high dimensional accuracy, including mold and die work, prototype machining, and micro-feature cutting on hardened or soft materials. The bright uncoated finish makes it a general-purpose option where coating is not required. The 0.125 inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet systems and tool holders common in both CNC and manual setups. It is appropriate for shop environments running light to moderate material removal passes at elevated spindle speeds to match the small diameter.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and dimensional stability
• 0.016 inch cutting diameter for micro-feature and fine-detail milling
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.125 inch straight-cylindrical shank via collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

This tooling is installed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or holder and torque the retention nut per the tool holder specification. When running small-diameter carbide end mills, verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits to avoid premature breakage.
