Sgs 31422 Ball End Mill 0.1875 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 31422 is a double-end, 4-flute ball end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of workpiece materials. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it offers the rigidity and edge retention needed for demanding machining environments. The cutting diameter is 0.1875 inches with a length of cut of 0.375 inches and an overall length of 2 inches. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The uncoated finish makes this tool a dependable general-purpose option when coating is not required by the application.

This stub-length ball end mill is suited for milling slots, contours, and three-dimensional profiles in materials spanning ferrous alloys, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. The double-end design extends tool life by providing a second usable cutting end, making it a practical choice for production environments. It is typically used in CNC machining centers and manual mills where a small-diameter carbide tool is required for tight-tolerance finishing or roughing passes in confined areas.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high wear resistance and edge sharpness
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool, extending service life
• 4-flute configuration supports both roughing and finishing operations
• 30-degree right-hand helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduced chatter
• Stub length geometry increases rigidity and reduces deflection in short-reach applications
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches ensures consistent dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 0.1875-inch shank diameter, compatible with 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 CNC operator. Secure the shank fully into the tool holder collet to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the spindle is completely stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing or adjusting tooling. Do not exceed the tool's rated depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material being machined.
