Sgs 00360 Square End Mill 5/64 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00360 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built to Series 1620 specifications, it features a 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch) cutting diameter with a stub-length configuration and a 1/8 inch length of cut. The micrograin carbide construction delivers consistent edge integrity at small diameters. With 2 flutes and a 30-degree helix angle, the tool is suited for slotting, profiling, and light pocket milling in applications where tool rigidity and accurate dimensional control are critical. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working with tight-tolerance parts are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and precision manual milling machines. The stub-length design minimizes deflection, making it well-suited for shallow-depth operations in hard materials or tight-clearance workholding setups. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard 1/8 inch collets and toolholders. Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry when needed. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation follow conventional milling configurations used across most production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for consistent edge sharpness at small diameters
• 5/64 inch cutting diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0008 inches
• 30-degree spiral flute helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Stub-length configuration reduces deflection in precision milling operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard conventional and climb milling

Compatibility

Designed to fit standard 1/8 inch collets and toolholders across CNC machining centers and manual milling machines that accept straight cylindrical shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully within the collet or toolholder to the recommended grip depth before tightening. Verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits before cutting, as small-diameter carbide tools are sensitive to runout-induced breakage. Inspect the cutting edges visually before each use and replace the tool at the first sign of chipping or wear.
