Sgs 30317 Square End Mill 9/64 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30317 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise material removal in milling operations. It features a 9/64-inch (0.1406-inch) cutting diameter and a 1/2-inch length of cut, making it well suited for light profiling, slotting, and contouring in tight geometries. The tool is single-end, centercutting, and ground from micrograin carbide stock for edge retention under demanding cycle conditions. A 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation while the 2-flute configuration provides clearance for moderate chip loads. The shank measures 3/16 inch in diameter with a straight-cylindrical profile for standard collet or end mill holder retention. Overall length is 2 inches. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and multi-axis machining operations where small-diameter tooling is required. The SGS Series 3 designation places it in a regular-length lineup optimized for general-purpose milling. Applicable workpiece material codes per the input data include H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering a range of material families such as hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, carbon and alloy steels, and superalloys. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in job shop and production environments.

Compatibility

Applicable workpiece material codes listed in the product data are H, K, M, N, P, and S. Designed as a general-purpose, regular-length square end mill for use with standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/16-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist using an appropriate collet or end mill holder sized for a 3/16-inch shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool-holding system is clean and free of debris before mounting. Verify runout after installation per shop or print tolerances before engaging the workpiece. Follow all applicable machine guarding and PPE requirements when operating rotating tooling.
