Sgs 30041 Ball End Mill 0.1719 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30041 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of materials. It features a 0.1719-inch (11/64-inch) mill diameter and a 0.625-inch length of cut, making it suited for finishing and contouring work in tight geometries. The 4-flute configuration and 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. An AlTiN coating provides heat and wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures, extending tool life in demanding applications. The micrograin carbide substrate adds rigidity and edge retention. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this tool in machining centers and CNC mills.

The SGS 30041 is intended for use in general-purpose and high-performance milling operations on materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, titanium alloys, carbon steel, and heat-resistant superalloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The single-end, regular-length design suits standard vertical and horizontal machining center spindles. It is commonly used for 3D contouring, profiling, and detail work where a ball nose geometry is required. The variable index geometry helps reduce harmonics and chatter during cutting.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• AlTiN coating for elevated-temperature wear resistance
• 4-flute, 30-degree helix for smooth chip flow and surface finish
• Variable index geometry to minimize chatter and vibration
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute direction
• Single-end ball nose profile for 3D contouring and profiling work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and mills accepting a 3/16-inch shank diameter collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully and evenly in a precision collet or end mill holder to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use and verify runout with a dial indicator after tool change.
