Sgs 31450 Ball End Mill 0.0938 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 31450 is a double-end, four-flute ball end mill ground from micrograin solid carbide and finished with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating. It carries a 0.0938 inch cutting diameter and a 0.1875 inch length of cut, making it suited for fine detail work, radius profiling, and contour milling in tight geometries. The stub-length body keeps deflection low when cutting at depth. Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flutes provide efficient chip evacuation. This tool is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

The 31450 is designed for milling a broad range of workpiece materials. The primary workpiece material codes assigned to this tool cover cast irons, non-ferrous metals, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and heat-resistant super alloys. The TiN coating improves surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge, extending tool life across these material groups. The double-end design allows the second end to be put into service when the first is worn, improving cost efficiency in production environments.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and edge retention in demanding materials
• TiN coating reduces cutting friction and improves wear resistance
• Double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Stub length body minimizes overhang deflection for tighter tolerances
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches; shank diameter tolerance of -0.0001 to -0.0004 inches

Compatibility

Compatible with standard 1/8 inch collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual mills. Suitable for machining cast irons, non-ferrous metals, stainless steels, carbon steels, alloy steels, and heat-resistant super alloys per SGS primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator using a collet or end mill holder rated for 1/8 inch shank tooling. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before changing tooling. Verify collet runout before cutting to stay within the close diameter tolerances of this tool. Coolant through is not supported on this tool; use external coolant or air blast as required by the workpiece material.
