Sgs 31182 Square End Mill 7/32 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 31182 is a double-end, four-flute square end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of metallic and composite workpiece materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN, this tool delivers thermal resistance and edge retention across demanding cutting applications. The 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch) mill diameter pairs with a 1/2 inch length of cut, a 1/4 inch straight cylindrical shank, and a 2-1/2 inch overall length. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals, this end mill suits CNC milling centers and manual knee mills alike.

The SGS 31182 is suited for milling operations on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel alloys, heat-resistant superalloys, and similar materials corresponding to workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The stub-length profile and double-end design maximize tool life and reduce per-cut cost in production environments. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, expanding its utility in slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations on both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for superior hardness and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance during aggressive cuts
• Double-end design extends usable tool life per unit
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge milling
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard production end mill compatible with CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1/4 inch straight cylindrical shank. Suited for 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 or toolroom professional. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet or end mill holder. Verify shank runout and holder cleanliness before tightening to avoid premature edge wear. Follow machine manufacturer torque and clamping guidelines for the specific holder type in use.
