Sgs 00876 Ball End Mill 0.1 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00876 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precise contouring, slotting, and 3D profiling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.1 inch mill diameter and a 0.3 inch length of cut, this tool is built for tight-tolerance work in small-feature geometries. The micrograin solid carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention well beyond high-speed steel alternatives. Two right-hand spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The uncoated finish makes this mill compatible with a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and CNC programmers select this tool for finishing passes and fine detail work where dimensional accuracy is critical.

The SGS 00876 suits small-diameter machining operations on CNC mills, machining centers, and manual knee mills in both job shop and production environments. Its 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in light-duty spindles. The regular length profile and single-end configuration keep runout low and tool deflection minimal, which is essential at this diameter. Typical applications include die and mold work, prototype machining, and intricate part features in aluminum, steel, brass, and engineering plastics.

Key Features

• 0.1 inch mill diameter with a diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0008 inches for tight-tolerance fitment
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate provides superior hardness and wear resistance
• 2 right-hand spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow
• 0.3 inch length of cut suits shallow pocket and contour operations
• Uncoated finish allows broad material compatibility without coating-related buildup concerns
• Single-end, regular-length design minimizes deflection at small diameters

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard selection for machining setups using 1/8 inch collets or end mill holders; compatible with CNC and manual milling equipment accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Secure the 1/8 inch shank firmly in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting, as excessive runout at this diameter can cause premature tool breakage. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine builder guidelines for feeds, speeds, and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material.
