Sgs 02313 Square End Mill 0.006 in 4 Flute Altin Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 02313 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in tight-tolerance machining operations. Built from micrograin carbide and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), it handles high-temperature cutting environments where tool life and dimensional accuracy are critical. The 0.006 inch cutting diameter and 0.018 inch length of cut make this tool suited for micro-milling applications where small-feature geometry and surface finish matter. The 4-flute configuration and 30-degree helix angle support efficient chip evacuation at the micro scale. This end mill is used by machinists and toolroom technicians working on precision components in die, mold, and prototype work.

This end mill fits machining centers, CNC mills, and manual mills equipped with a 0.125 inch (1/8 inch) straight cylindrical shank holder. It is configured as a single-end, right-hand cutting, right-hand flute tool with a regular length profile and an overall length of 1.5 inches. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as peripheral cutting. Typical applications include micro-slot milling, fine-feature contouring, and detail work on hardened or high-temperature alloy workpieces where AlTiN coating provides thermal protection and reduced friction.

Key Features

• 0.006 inch cutting diameter for micro-scale precision machining
• AlTiN coating provides high heat resistance and extended tool life in dry or near-dry cutting
• Micrograin solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and edge retention
• 4-flute, 30-degree helix geometry supports chip flow in tight flute geometry
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral; single-end configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and milling machines accepting a 0.125 inch straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for micro-milling operations on ferrous alloys, stainless steel, titanium, and other high-temperature materials where AlTiN coating performance is advantageous.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists with the spindle fully stopped and machine power isolated per shop safety procedures. Confirm collet or end mill holder bore matches the 0.125 inch shank diameter before mounting. Inspect the tool for edge chipping before each use, especially at this diameter scale where damage may not be immediately visible. Follow the machine tool builder and tooling manufacturer runout and torque specifications for the holder type used.
