Sgs 30329 Square End Mill 15/64 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30329 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a range of metallic and non-metallic workpiece materials. The cutter measures 15/64 inches (0.2344 inches) in diameter with a 3/4-inch length of cut and a 1/4-inch straight cylindrical shank. Overall length is 2-1/2 inches. The two-flute, spiral-flute geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and clean sidewall finishes. Micrograin carbide construction provides edge retention and wear resistance in demanding cutting applications. This is a centercutting, right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration suitable for plunge entry and peripheral milling.

The SGS 30329 is suited for slot milling, profiling, and plunge operations in a wide range of materials. The primary workpiece material codes indicate compatibility with cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, aluminum and other light alloys, steel, and high-temperature superalloys. It is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills in both job shop and production environments where a small-diameter, short-run tool is required. The regular length and uncoated finish make it a straightforward choice for general-purpose work where coating is not specified.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for improved edge retention and dimensional stability
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• 30-degree helix angle spiral flutes promote chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle rotation
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish
• Straight cylindrical 1/4-inch shank with tight shank diameter tolerance of +0.00000 / -0.00035 inches

Compatibility

Designed for use on workpiece material categories coded H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering hardened materials, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum and non-ferrous alloys, steel, and high-temperature alloys. Part of the SGS Series 3 end mill line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. The tool must be secured in a collet or end mill holder rated for the 1/4-inch shank diameter, and the spindle must be fully stopped before tool changes. Verify runout at the tool tip after installation to stay within the tolerance requirements of the job. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures for cutting tool handling and RPM limits.
