Sgs 03085 Ball End Mill 0.024 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 03085 is a solid carbide ball end mill engineered for high-precision milling operations. With a 0.024-inch cutting diameter and a 0.036-inch length of cut (LOC), this tool is suited for fine detail work, micro-machining, and contour milling in hard and abrasive materials. The AlTiN coating provides excellent thermal resistance, extending tool life in high-speed dry or near-dry cutting conditions. Four spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and a stable cutting action. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this series for tight-tolerance work where tool rigidity and coating durability are critical.

This end mill is designed for use in CNC machining centers and precision milling machines handling ferrous metals, hardened steels, stainless alloys, and similar hard materials where the AlTiN coating delivers measurable performance advantages. The 1/8-inch shank diameter and 1.5-inch overall length make it a practical choice for tight-clearance cavity work, die sinking, and fine-feature profiling in both production and prototype environments. Single-end configuration supports straightforward tool changes and standard collet setups.

Key Features

• 0.024-inch ball end cutting diameter with 0.036-inch LOC for micro and fine-detail milling
• 4-flute spiral geometry with 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip flow
• AlTiN coating for high thermal resistance in dry or semi-dry high-speed cutting
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and vibration resistance at small diameters
• 1/8-inch shank with h6 tolerance for precise collet fit and minimal runout
• Series M4B single-end design for standard tool-change workflows

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC milling setups accepting a 1/8-inch shank diameter in the SGS Series M4B line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing or seating the tool. Use a precision collet or end mill holder rated for the 1/8-inch shank to minimize runout. Confirm cutting direction is set to right-hand before initiating any machining cycle.
