Sgs 30473 Ball End Mill 0.0469 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30473 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for high-precision milling in demanding machining environments. With a 0.0469-inch (3/64-inch) mill diameter and a 0.1094-inch (7/64-inch) length of cut, this tool is built for fine-detail work in tight geometries. The micrograin carbide substrate provides hardness and edge retention, while the AlTiN coating adds thermal resistance and surface lubricity for extended tool life in abrasive materials. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This is a single-end, right-hand cut tool suited for CNC machining centers and high-speed spindle applications.

The SGS 30473 is intended for use in CNC milling operations where small-diameter precision cutting is required. The AlTiN coating makes it well suited for harder workpiece materials and dry or semi-dry machining conditions. Based on the primary workpiece material codes assigned to this tool, it is designed to cut across a broad range of material categories including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, high-temperature alloys, and titanium alloys. It fits standard 1/8-inch collet or end mill holders common on vertical machining centers and CNC routers.

Key Features

• 0.0469-inch (3/64-inch) ball nose diameter for fine-detail and 3D contour milling
• AlTiN coating provides high heat resistance and wear resistance in abrasive materials
• Micrograin solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and sharp edge retention
• 2-flute, spiral flute geometry promotes chip clearance in confined cuts
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency with tool stability
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC spindle use

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/8-inch collet systems and end mill holders on CNC vertical machining centers. Compatible workpiece material categories include cast iron (K), non-ferrous metals (N), stainless steel (M), steel (P), high-temperature alloys (S), and hardened materials (H) as defined by the manufacturer material code designations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician familiar with small-diameter carbide end mills. Ensure the collet and holder are clean and free of runout before seating the 1/8-inch shank to prevent tool deflection or breakage. Carbide tooling is brittle — avoid lateral shock loads or improper setups that can cause chipping. Refer to the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool supplier for appropriate feed and speed parameters for the specific workpiece material.
