Sgs 31711 Square End Mill 7/32 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 31711 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in a wide range of metalworking applications. It features a 7/32-inch (0.2188 inches) cutting diameter, a 7/16-inch (0.4375 inches) length of cut, and a 1/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this tool delivers the hardness and edge retention required for consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The two-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation, while the 30-degree spiral helix angle supports smooth cutting action. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers working in production or job-shop environments will find this tool well-suited to tight-tolerance slotting and peripheral milling tasks.

This end mill is rated for use across multiple primary workpiece material categories, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, steel, and heat-resistant superalloys. Its stub-length profile reduces overhang and increases rigidity, making it particularly effective in applications where deflection control is critical. The centercutting design allows direct plunge entry, adding versatility for pocket milling without a pre-drilled start hole. It is single-end, uncoated, and ships individually.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• Two-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting capable — supports direct plunge milling
• Stub-length profile improves rigidity and reduces deflection
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent sizing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill compatible with standard 1/4-inch straight-shank tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, particularly in tight-tolerance applications.
