Sandvik Coromant 8036788 Corner Radius End Mill 3/8 in

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 8036788 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. It features a 3/8-inch diameter with a 0.015-inch corner radius, five flutes, and an AlTiN coating that extends tool life in high-temperature cutting environments. The variable helix and variable index geometry reduce chatter and improve surface finish across a range of materials. This tool is part of the CoroMill Dura series and is suited for use by machinists and tooling professionals in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is built for single-end, center-cutting operations including profiling, slotting, and ramping in ferrous and hardened materials. The AlTiN coating performs well in dry or minimal-lubrication machining. With a 1-inch length of cut and a 2-1/2-inch overall length, it fits standard milling setups in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN coating extends tool life in high-heat, dry-cutting applications
• Variable helix and variable index geometry reduce vibration and improve surface finish
• Five-flute design increases material removal rate while maintaining finish quality
• Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry and ramping operations
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-series replacement and production end mill for standard 3/8-inch collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and end mill holders used in CNC machining centers and conventional milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard tooling changeover procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder and torque the collet nut or set screw per the holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut.
