Sgs 31651 Square End Mill 0.0938 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 31651 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. Built from micrograin carbide with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers extended tool life and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. The cutter measures 0.0938 inches in diameter with a 0.1875-inch length of cut and a 1.5-inch overall length. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. This is a single-end, center-cutting tool with four spiral flutes and a right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals in CNC and manual milling operations.

The 31651 is suited for milling operations in a variety of material categories, including cast irons, non-ferrous metals, stainless steels, steel alloys, heat-resistant super alloys, and similar workpiece materials corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its stub-length profile and 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank make it appropriate for close-tolerance finish passes and slotting work where rigidity and runout control are critical. It is a Series 16 tool in the SGS product line.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life
• Titanium nitride (TiN) coating for improved wear resistance and lubricity
• 4-flute spiral configuration with variable index for reduced chatter and improved surface finish
• 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Stub-length, 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet and end mill holders

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece materials classified under material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, which include cast irons, non-ferrous metals, stainless steels, general steels, and heat-resistant super alloys. Fits standard 1/8-inch diameter collet chucks and end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following shop safety protocols. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention mechanism to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before production cutting to confirm proper seating and avoid premature tool wear.
