Sgs 30038 Ball End Mill 0.125 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30038 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in demanding industrial and metalworking environments. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN, it delivers heat resistance and edge retention at high cutting speeds. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With a 0.125-inch mill diameter and 0.5-inch length of cut, this end mill is suited for fine detail work, contouring, and profiling in harder workpiece materials. Installation is performed by qualified machinists and CNC operators.

The SGS 30038 is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where tight tolerances and high surface finish quality are required. The AlTiN coating and micrograin carbide substrate make it well suited for milling harder ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including materials classified under workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The regular-length, single-end design makes it a practical choice for slot milling, profile milling, and 3D contouring operations where a small-diameter tool with a short length of cut is appropriate.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance for high-speed and dry cutting applications
• 4-flute, right-hand spiral design with variable index for reduced chatter and improved surface finish
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation during milling
• Single-end configuration with 0.125-inch diameter and 0.5-inch length of cut for fine detail and profiling work
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches ensures consistent fit in tight-tolerance applications

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece materials classified under codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tool within the SGS Series 1B end mill lineup.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before securing the shank. Verify that the tool holder collet matches the 0.125-inch shank diameter to maintain concentricity and prevent runout. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for tool change procedures.
