Sgs 30306 Ball End Mill 0.0469 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30306 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of workpiece materials. With a 0.0469-inch (3/64-inch) mill diameter and a 0.1094-inch (7/64-inch) length of cut, this is a small-diameter tool built for fine detail work, contouring, and finish milling in tight geometries. The 2-flute configuration and 30-degree right-hand helix promote efficient chip evacuation at this scale. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for consistent performance. This tool arrives uncoated and is intended for single-end use.

The SGS 30306 is suited for use in CNC machining centers, high-speed spindles, and manual mills where small-diameter precision work is required. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders common in light-duty production and toolroom environments. The regular-length body and 1.5-inch overall length make it appropriate for shallow-to-moderate-depth applications. Primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S cover hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, steel alloys, and heat-resistant superalloys, giving this tool a broad application range for aerospace, medical, and general machining work.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior edge retention and rigidity in small-diameter tooling
• 0.0469-inch (3/64-inch) ball nose diameter for fine contouring and 3D profile milling
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral design promotes chip evacuation in confined cuts
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency and tool stability
• 1/8-inch shank diameter fits widely available collets and toolholders
• Uncoated finish suitable for broad material compatibility across material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as specified by the manufacturer. Designed for use with standard 1/8-inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual mills. No specific machine model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or in a safe state before changing tooling. Seat the 1/8-inch shank fully in the collet or toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts, as small-diameter carbide end mills are sensitive to excessive runout and can fracture under lateral loading.
