Sgs 32311 Tapered End Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 32311 is a solid carbide tapered end mill designed for precision contouring, profiling, and draft-angle milling in demanding CNC machining applications. Built to Series 23 specifications, this tool features a 7-degree taper per side with a 1/8-inch small end diameter and a 1/2-inch length of cut. The three-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 28-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Constructed from micrograin solid carbide and finished with a bright uncoated surface, this end mill suits high-precision work where tight tolerances are required.

The SGS 32311 is suited for mold-making, die work, and precision part contouring on CNC machining centers and manual mills. Its square end profile makes it appropriate for bottom-finishing and wall profiling where a defined corner is needed. The 1/4-inch shank diameter fits standard collet and end mill holder systems. Recommended workpiece materials include hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, aluminum alloys, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Key Features

• 7-degree taper per side for draft-angle and mold contouring applications
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• Three right-hand spiral flutes with 28-degree helix for efficient chip removal
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• Square end profile delivers clean bottom cuts and defined corner geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for Series 23 tapered end mills with a 1/4-inch shank diameter and 1/8-inch small end diameter in standard ER collet chucks, side-lock holders, and shrink-fit systems accepting 1/4-inch shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the recommended gauge-line depth before torquing the retention mechanism. Inspect the collet bore and shank for chips or contamination before seating the tool. Verify spindle runout with a dial indicator after installation, as excessive runout will accelerate wear and compromise tolerances on tapered features.
