Sgs 31223 Ball End Mill 7/64 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 31223 is a double-end ball end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide and finished with an AlTiN coating, this tool delivers hardness and thermal resistance needed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It measures 0.1094 inches (7/64 inches) in mill diameter with a 3/16-inch length of cut and a 1/8-inch shank diameter. The 4-flute spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. It is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments.

The SGS 31223 is suited for milling operations involving hardened steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. Its stub-length, double-end configuration makes it a practical choice for contour milling, profiling, and slotting in tight workpiece geometries. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC machining center setups. This tool falls under Series 14B and targets workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering a broad spectrum of materials commonly encountered in precision machining.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance for cutting hard and abrasive materials
• Micrograin solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance over extended tool life
• 4-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and surface finish quality
• Double-end configuration offers two usable cutting ends per tool, extending value per unit
• Stub-length (1-1/2 inches OAL) design increases rigidity and reduces deflection in shallow-depth applications
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC machining center spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cutting tool replacement for CNC machining centers and manual mills using 1/8-inch collet or end mill holders. Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as specified for Series 14B tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Secure the 1/8-inch shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the tool. Follow machine tool manufacturer torque and clamping specifications for the holder type in use.
