Built to Series 16 specifications, it features a 3\/16 inch diameter with a 3\/8 inch length of cut and a 2 inch overall length in a stub-length configuration. The four-flute, right-hand spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle provides efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting performance. Micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding machining environments. It is centercutting capable, allowing direct plunge entry into a workpiece without a pre-drilled hole. This end mill is uncoated and ships ready for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 31609 is suited for milling operations across a broad spectrum of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, titanium alloys, and high-temperature alloys as indicated by primary material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its stub-length geometry makes it well suited for applications requiring maximum rigidity and reduced deflection, such as slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in tight setups. Machinists and CNC operators working in job shop or production environments will find this tool appropriate for both roughing and light finishing passes depending on feed and speed selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute right-hand cut with right-hand spiral flute and 30-degree helix angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing reduces harmonic vibration during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub-length OAL of 2 inches maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank with tight diameter tolerance of +0.00000\/-0.00032 inches for secure tool holding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a Series 16 stub-length square end mill compatible with standard straight-shank tool holders accepting a 3\/16 inch shank diameter.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, de-energized state before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify collet or chuck specifications match the 3\/16 inch shank diameter to prevent runout and tool pull-out. Always follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when establishing feeds and speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\/-0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00000\/-0.00032 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 31609\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730397757746,"sku":"31609","price":35.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d4d5dbf81e273e3a18ec79a7682a58af.jpg?v=1788716755","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sgs-31609-square-end-mill-3-16-inch-4-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
