Sgs 30197 Square End Mill 7/64 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30197 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of materials. It features a 7/64-inch (0.1094 inches) cutting diameter, a 3/8-inch length of cut, and a 1/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank. The overall length is 1.5 inches. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN, this end mill delivers hardness and heat resistance suited to demanding cutting conditions. The four-flute, spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation while maintaining surface finish quality. Variable index geometry helps reduce chatter during the cut.

This end mill is intended for milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, heat-resistant alloys, and cast materials — covering workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its centercutting design allows plunge entry, making it suitable for slotting, profiling, and pocket milling. The compact 7/64-inch diameter and regular-length configuration make it well suited for tight-tolerance work in die, mold, and precision component machining environments. It is sold individually and typically installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shop or production settings.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating provides heat and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting speeds
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Variable index fluting reduces harmonic chatter during milling
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and consistent surface finish
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-application solid carbide end mill for use in standard 1/8-inch collet chucks or end mill holders compatible with straight-cylindrical shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle at a full stop and machine power isolated. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder to the tool manufacturer and machine builder specifications. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for damage before each use. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool operating guidelines when selecting feeds, speeds, and depth of cut.
