Sandvik Coromant 8036838 Corner Radius End Mill 5 Flute

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 8036838 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metal-cutting applications. Built on the CoroMill Dura series platform, it features a 0.5 inch diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 0.03 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in high-speed dry or semi-dry machining environments. With five flutes, a variable helix, and variable index geometry, this end mill is suited for machinists and toolroom professionals running modern CNC machining centers.

This end mill is intended for high-performance milling operations where corner radius protection and smooth surface finish are required. Its right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional CNC milling setups. The centercutting design allows for plunge entry, adding versatility for pocketing and ramping operations. It is a fit for job shops, aerospace component machining, die and mold work, and general precision part manufacturing where carbide tooling is specified.

Key Features

• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and improves surface finish at part corners
• AlTiN coating enhances heat resistance and wear performance in ferrous and hardened materials
• Variable helix and variable index geometry reduce harmonic vibration during cut
• Five-flute design increases feed rate capability compared to four-flute equivalents
• Centercutting capable for plunge milling, ramping, and pocket entry
• Straight-cylindrical shank for direct collet or end mill holder clamping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification solid carbide end mill for use in standard 1/2 inch collets, shrink-fit holders, or hydraulic end mill holders on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with CNC tooling setup. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing or measuring tooling. Verify holder runout with a dial indicator before running production cuts. Follow the tool manufacturer guidance for recommended speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for the target work material and coating type.
