Sgs 30124 Ball End Mill 0.1875 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30124 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations across a broad range of workpiece materials. With a 0.1875 inch (3/16 inch) cutting diameter and a 0.625 inch length of cut, it delivers controlled material removal in tight-tolerance applications. The four-flute, right-hand spiral geometry combined with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. Manufactured from micrograin carbide, this single-end mill maintains edge integrity under demanding cutting conditions. It is sized for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and similar setups where small-diameter precision tooling is required.

The SGS 30124 is suited for milling operations in materials classified under workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering a range including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, steel, and high-temperature alloys. Its regular-length profile and 2.0 inch overall length make it a practical choice for standard-reach slotting, profiling, and contouring work in production and job-shop environments. The uncoated micrograin carbide construction is appropriate where coatings are not required or where re-sharpening is anticipated.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for consistent edge retention and dimensional accuracy
• Four-flute right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow
• Variable index geometry reduces harmonic vibration during cut
• Uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of base material applications
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches for close-tolerance fitment
• Shank diameter tolerance of +0.00000 to -0.00032 inches for secure tool holder engagement

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as designated in the SGS Series 1B product line. Designed for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out per shop safety procedures. Ensure the tool holder collet or chuck is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to confirm concentricity within acceptable limits. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool manufacturer recommendations for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for the specific workpiece material being machined.
