Sgs 00824 Square End Mill 0.018 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00824 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling of small-feature geometry. With a 0.018-inch cutting diameter and a 0.054-inch length of cut, this tool is built for micro-milling applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. The micrograin carbide construction delivers the hardness and edge integrity required for tight-tolerance work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating interaction with the workpiece material is a concern. Machinists and tooling professionals handling precision components in aerospace, medical, mold, and die work will recognize this as a standard tool for fine-detail passes.

This end mill fits single-end milling setups requiring a small-diameter tool with a straight cylindrical shank. The 0.125-inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems, and the 1.5-inch overall length keeps the tool rigid during operation. The 2-flute, right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral configuration is suited for plunge entry and slot milling in confined features. It is a centercutting tool, allowing direct plunge into the material without pre-drilling. Series 1610 tooling from SGS is intended for precision shop environments where surface finish and feature accuracy are priorities.

Key Features

• 0.018-inch cutting diameter for micro-feature milling
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge sharpness and wear resistance
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral at 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials
• Straight cylindrical 0.125-inch shank fits standard ER and precision collet chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for CNC milling machines and machining centers equipped with collet systems accepting a 0.125-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut to the machine manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, as micro-diameter carbide tools are brittle and susceptible to breakage if run-out is not minimized.
