Kennametal 3658835 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 3658835 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. It features a 1/2 inch mill diameter, a 0.12 inch corner radius, and three right-hand spiral flutes with a high helix angle of 37 degrees. The cutting length of 1.25 inches and overall length of 3 inches suit a range of milling operations where edge strength and surface finish matter. The bright uncoated finish is selected for non-ferrous work where coating adhesion or heat buildup is a concern. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this tool.

This end mill is built for roughing operations on non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. The coarse pitch and high helix geometry promote chip evacuation in these softer, gummier materials. The straight-cylindrical shank with a 1/2 inch diameter fits standard end mill toolholders. The centercutting design allows plunge entry where the machining program requires it. The Series AADE designation and submicron carbide grade reflect an engineered substrate intended for demanding cutting conditions in production environments.

Key Features

• Corner radius geometry reduces edge chipping and improves tool life at cutting corners
• Submicron solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• 3-flute, right-hand spiral design with high helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Bright uncoated finish suited for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard end mill toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill toolholders. Intended for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials per the AADE series application guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the tool from the toolholder. Confirm runout and tool projection are within the tolerance requirements of the machining program before starting the cut. Do not exceed the rated cutting parameters for the workpiece material and machine configuration.
