Sandvik Coromant 8036226 Square End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 8036226 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. With a 0.5 inch mill diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers consistent material removal on hard and abrasive workpiece materials. The AlTiN coating provides oxidation resistance and thermal stability at elevated cutting temperatures, extending tool life in high-speed and dry-cutting conditions. A variable helix angle of 36.5 degrees combined with variable index geometry reduces harmonic vibration and chatter, improving surface finish and dimensional accuracy. This tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job-shop environments.

The 8036226 is part of the CoroMill Dura series, designed for high-performance milling of steel, stainless steel, and similar materials in both roughing and semi-finishing operations. With a 0.5 inch shank diameter and 3 inch overall length, it fits standard end mill toolholders and collet chucks used on vertical and horizontal machining centers. The centercutting capability allows plunge entry as well as conventional peripheral milling. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction suit standard spindle configurations.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance for high-speed and dry milling applications
• Variable helix and variable index design reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• 4-flute solid carbide construction for rigidity and tool life in hard materials
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge milling in addition to peripheral passes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle setups
• CoroMill Dura series material grade X1BH optimized for steel and stainless applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification end mill for use in standard 1/2 inch end mill toolholders, collet chucks, and shrink-fit holders on CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured to the correct torque specification per the toolholder manufacturer before starting the spindle. Inspect the collet or holder bore for runout before seating the shank, as excessive runout will accelerate edge wear and reduce the effectiveness of the variable helix geometry. Follow your facility safety standards and machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool change procedures.
