Sgs 30592 Ball End Mill 0.5 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 30592 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of metalworking applications. With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, this two-flute tool delivers smooth, accurate ball-nose profiles in materials ranging from cast iron and stainless steel to high-temperature alloys and non-ferrous metals. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life under high-speed cutting conditions. The micrograin carbide grade adds toughness and edge retention. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals operating CNC machining centers and manual mills.

The SGS 30592 is suited for contouring, profiling, and slotting operations in both production shop and job shop environments. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The Series 3B designation places this tool in a regular-length category, making it a practical choice for standard reach applications on vertical and horizontal CNC mills. Primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S indicate suitability across hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous materials, steel, and superalloys.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge toughness and wear resistance
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral geometry promotes chip clearing during milling
• 30-degree helix angle optimized for smooth cutting across multiple material types
• Single-end design with 0.5 inch shank diameter for standard collet and end mill holder fitment

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the recommended engagement depth per the holder manufacturer guidelines. Verify runout after installation before beginning a cutting operation.
