Sandvik Coromant 8036816 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 8036816 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance milling operations in demanding machining environments. With a 0.5 inch diameter and a 0.03 inch corner radius, this tool reduces stress concentrations at the cutting edge and extends tool life in hardened and difficult-to-machine materials. The 5-flute geometry with variable helix and variable index reduces chatter and improves surface finish. An AlTiN coating adds heat resistance and hardness at elevated cutting temperatures. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in CNC milling applications will find this end mill suited for semi-finishing and finishing passes in ferrous and high-alloy workpiece materials.

This end mill is appropriate for use in vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers handling ferrous metals, hardened steels, stainless alloys, and similar materials where a corner radius profile is specified. The single-end, center-cutting design allows plunge entry as well as conventional peripheral and slot milling. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders with a 1/2 inch bore. It belongs to the SANDVIK COROMANT CoroMill Dura series, which is engineered for material grades requiring consistent edge stability and coating adhesion under high thermal load.

Key Features

• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress concentration on workpiece corners
• 5-flute variable helix and variable index geometry minimizes vibration and chatter during cut
• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance for dry or near-dry machining
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• CoroMill Dura series material grade X1BH optimized for hardened and difficult-to-machine alloys

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification solid carbide corner radius end mill in the SANDVIK COROMANT CoroMill Dura series. Fits any machine tool spindle or toolholder accepting a 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or spindle lock is engaged before installing or removing the end mill from the holder. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating in the collet or end mill holder to confirm proper tool engagement. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and SANDVIK COROMANT published speeds and feeds for the CoroMill Dura series when programming cutting parameters.
