Sgs 00358 Square End Mill 0.065 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00358 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding machining environments. Built from micrograin carbide, this single-end tool features a 0.065-inch cutting diameter, a 0.098-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle with two right-hand spiral flutes. The stub-length configuration and 1/8-inch shank keep the tool rigid in close-clearance setups. Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling. This end mill is uncoated and suited for applications where base carbide substrate performance is preferred or where post-coating would reduce edge sharpness at this micro diameter.

The SGS 00358 is intended for micro-milling operations in tool rooms, production shops, and precision machining cells. Its 0.065-inch diameter makes it appropriate for fine detail work, small slot cutting, and contour milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1-1/2-inch overall length and 1/8-inch shank diameter are compatible with standard collet systems and micro-toolholders used on CNC machining centers and high-speed spindles. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on molds, dies, and small components are the primary installers of this tool type.

Key Features

• 0.065-inch cutting diameter with a tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0008 inches for predictable fit in precision slots
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention at small diameters
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design permits both plunge and lateral entry cuts
• Stub-length classification reduces overhang and deflection risk in tight-clearance setups
• Single-end, uncoated finish — ready for direct use or application-specific coating by the end user

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use micro end mill compatible with standard 1/8-inch collets and toolholders on CNC machining centers and high-speed milling spindles.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tool-change procedures for CNC or manual milling equipment. Power down the spindle completely and verify zero rotation before inserting or removing the tool from the collet. Use a calibrated torque wrench on collet nuts and inspect the shank for runout after seating, as micro-diameter end mills are sensitive to even minor runout at this diameter. Consult the machine tool manufacturer and applicable shop safety standards before operating at elevated spindle speeds.
