Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), it delivers extended tool life and heat resistance during high-speed cutting operations. The 0.5-inch diameter cutting head features 3 flutes with a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix, producing efficient chip evacuation and a smooth finish. Overall length is 3 inches with a 1-inch length of cut. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in production shops, job shops, and tool rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 31161 is suited for milling operations on a broad range of workpiece materials including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and titanium alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It fits standard 1\/2-inch shank tool holders and is appropriate for vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills where a regular-length ball end mill is required. The AlTiN coating makes it particularly effective in dry or near-dry cutting environments where heat buildup is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating for elevated heat and oxidation resistance during high-speed cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute, 30-degree right-hand spiral helix for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end ball nose geometry for profiling, contouring, and 3D surfacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular length Series 5B design compatible with standard 1\/2-inch collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for standard 1\/2-inch shank ball end mill applications in CNC and manual milling setups.

Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the collet or end mill holder is torqued per the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, and confirm spindle speed and feed rate settings are appropriate for the workpiece material before engaging the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00000 to -0.00043 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735273996594,"sku":"31161","price":143.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9a06aa96067a1799cdd8d10679eeebcd_a604ec33-6015-4115-8e6e-d3004dbcd76e.jpg?v=1788771357","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sgs-31161-ball-end-mill-0-5-in-3-flute-solid-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
