Sandvik Coromant 5844008 Square-shoulder Face Mill 2 in

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5844008 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for precision shoulder milling and face milling operations in metalworking applications. Part of the CoroMill 490 series, it accepts five 490R-1404 style inserts and delivers a maximum cutting diameter of 2 inches with a maximum depth of cut of 10 mm (0.3937 inches). The 3/4-inch arbor hole provides a secure machine spindle interface. Right-hand cutting direction and through-coolant capability make this cutter suitable for demanding production environments where chip evacuation and thermal management are critical. Inserts are held in place by a clamp and screw method, ensuring stability under load. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers.

The 5844008 is suited for square-shoulder milling on machining centers and mills where 90-degree lead angle entry is required. Through-coolant support makes it appropriate for high-feed, high-temperature alloy work as well as general steel milling. Its five-insert configuration and CoroMill 490 series geometry are optimized for productive metal removal rates in both roughing and semi-finishing passes on horizontal and vertical machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or demounting the cutter body. Verify that the arbor and spindle interface are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the cutter. Follow the insert manufacturer torque guidelines printed on the insert packaging when seating individual inserts with the clamp screw.
