Kennametal 6086336 Square End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6086336 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 1/2-inch cutting diameter and a 3-inch length of cut, this tool handles deep-cavity slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling across a wide range of materials. The four-flute configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. A TiAlN coating provides thermal resistance and hardness at elevated cutting temperatures, extending tool life in demanding cuts. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this end mill.

This end mill is suited for production and job-shop environments running CNC machining centers or manual knee mills. It is built for right-hand cutting with right-hand spiral flutes and is centercutting, allowing plunge entry in addition to side and slot milling. The 6-inch overall length provides clearance for deeper workpiece features without requiring extended-reach adapters on most standard setups. The 1/2-inch shank diameter is compatible with common ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling systems used in typical machining operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard-material milling
• TiAlN finish for elevated-temperature hardness and extended tool life
• 4-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for smooth chip flow and surface finish
• Centercutting geometry enables direct plunge milling without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard CNC spindle use
• 1/2-inch shank fits common collet chucks and end mill holders without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 1/2-inch toolholding systems on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following established toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth per the toolholder manufacturer's guidelines. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for damage before mounting; a chipped or cracked carbide tool should not be used.
