Sgs 30046 Ball End Mill 0.25in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 30046 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of workpiece materials. Built to Series 1B specifications, this single-end tool features a 0.25-inch diameter with a 0.75-inch length of cut and a 2.5-inch overall length. The four-flute configuration with a 30-degree right-hand helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. An AlTiN coating extends tool life by improving heat resistance and reducing friction at the cutting edge. The micrograin carbide substrate provides the hardness and rigidity required for demanding milling applications in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers handling a broad spectrum of materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, heat-resistant alloys, and steel. The variable index geometry reduces chatter and improves cut quality in both roughing and finishing passes. It is a standard choice for tool and die work, mold making, aerospace component machining, and general precision part production. Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators working in shop environments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• Four-flute, right-hand spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces for smooth finishes
• Variable index geometry reduces harmonic vibration and chatter
• Single-end configuration in standard regular-length format

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC milling machines and machining centers accepting a 0.25-inch straight shank end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a compatible collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.25-inch shank diameter, and verify runout with a dial indicator before production use. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting speeds and feeds for carbide tooling.
