Sgs 31364 Square End Mill 1/4 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 31364 is a 2-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of materials. It features a 1/4 inch cutting diameter, 1/2 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length with a straight cylindrical 1/4 inch shank. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance, while the AlTiN coating extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This is a single-end, stub-length tool suited for high-precision work in tight setups.

The SGS 31364 is a stub-length end mill appropriate for machining ferrous and non-ferrous metals, high-temp alloys, and cast materials. Its material code ratings cover cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, and superalloys. The center-cutting design allows plunge entry. It is well suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes in mold, die, and general precision machining operations where a short, rigid tool profile is required to minimize deflection.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating for extended tool life and thermal resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate provides high rigidity and edge retention
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Stub-length profile minimizes deflection in precision milling applications
• Straight cylindrical shank with tight shank diameter tolerance for secure tool holding

Compatibility

Compatible with materials coded H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature superalloys. Fits standard 1/4 inch collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out per shop safety procedures. Ensure the tool holder collet or chuck is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout at setup and apply appropriate cutting parameters for the workpiece material and machine rigidity. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the coating and substrate grade.
