Sgs 30564 Ball End Mill 0.5 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30564 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations across a range of workpiece materials. With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, 3 flutes, and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool delivers smooth chip evacuation and consistent surface finishes in contouring, profiling, and 3D machining applications. The micrograin carbide substrate provides hardness and wear resistance suited for demanding cuts. The ball nose geometry allows the tool to follow complex contoured surfaces without losing dimensional accuracy. This is a single-end tool with right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction, standard for conventional CNC machining center setups.

This end mill fits applications in production shops, tool rooms, and job shops running CNC vertical or horizontal machining centers. The Series 5B regular-length configuration is appropriate for general-purpose work where extended reach is not required. Workpiece material compatibility codes H, K, M, N, P, and S indicate suitability for hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature alloys. The uncoated finish makes this tool a solid baseline choice or a candidate for custom coating prior to use.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch mill diameter with a tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches for consistent dimensional accuracy
• 3-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and surface finish
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in demanding materials
• Single-end ball nose geometry for contouring, profiling, and 3D surface milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC machining center spindles
• No chipbreaker, no variable helix, no coolant-through — straightforward geometry for general-purpose setups

Compatibility

Suitable for use on workpiece materials corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, which include hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature alloys. Designed as an OEM-style tooling solution for standard CNC end mill holders accepting a 0.5 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Secure the 0.5 inch shank in a compatible end mill holder or collet chuck, verifying runout with a dial indicator before cutting. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting tool length offsets. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the specific workpiece material and depth of cut.
