Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), it delivers hardness and heat resistance suited for high-speed cutting operations. The tool features a 0.5-inch mill diameter, a 0.625-inch length of cut, and a 3.0-inch overall length. With 4 flutes in a right-hand spiral configuration and a 30-degree helix angle, it produces efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with challenging workpiece materials rely on this geometry for consistent performance at depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 31237 is suited for milling operations across a broad range of workpiece material categories including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, structural steels, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its stub-length classification makes it appropriate for applications where rigidity is prioritized over reach, such as contour milling, pocket milling, and profiling in CNC machining centers. The double-end configuration extends usable tool life before replacement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating provides oxidation resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-end design doubles usable cutting ends per tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute, 30-degree right-hand spiral geometry for efficient chip flow and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5-inch shank diameter with tight tolerance (+0.00000 to -0.00043 inches) for secure holder fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance held to +0.000 to -0.002 inches for dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5-inch shank; belongs to SGS Series 14B stub ball end mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists using an appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.5-inch shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the tool. Follow your machine tool manufacturer guidelines for runout tolerances and tool projection length. Extended reach and coolant-through features are not available on this tool, so confirm application requirements before setup.\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\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0 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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting 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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14B\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: 31237\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748266344754,"sku":"31237","price":183.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/14aa285edb464287f09b58732b07933d.jpg?v=1788891425","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sgs-31237-ball-end-mill-0-5in-4-flute-solid-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
