Sgs 30010 Square End Mill 5/16 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30010 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of metallic and non-metallic workpiece materials. With a 5/16 inch (0.3125 inch) mill diameter and four flutes, it delivers clean, accurate cuts in both roughing and finishing applications. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting environments. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, while the variable index geometry helps reduce chatter and vibration. This tool is suited for licensed machinists and tooling professionals working in job shop, manufacturing, and precision fabrication settings.

The SGS 30010 is intended for single-end milling operations on a variety of material types, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, aluminum alloys, and high-temperature superalloys, as referenced by primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its regular length classification and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard collet and end mill holders. This tool is well suited to CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills requiring a compact, high-performance carbide end mill in the 5/16 inch diameter range.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating provides thermal protection in high-speed and dry machining
• 4-flute, right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral geometry
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Variable index flute spacing reduces harmonic chatter
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production-use solid carbide square end mill for applications requiring a 5/16 inch diameter, 4-flute tool with a straight cylindrical shank compatible with common collet-style and end mill holder tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine spindle fully stopped and the power source locked out per applicable safety procedures. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder and confirm shank seating depth before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before use. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety codes when setting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.
