Sgs 00361 Square End Mill 5/64 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00361 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metal, composites, and engineered materials. Built to Series 1620 specifications, it features a 5/64-inch (0.0800-inch) cutting diameter, a 0.12-inch length of cut, and a 1/8-inch straight cylindrical shank. The micrograin carbide substrate delivers hardness and edge retention suited to demanding cuts. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining surface finish. This is a stub-length, single-end tool with a 1-1/2-inch overall length, sold individually and intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on CNC milling equipment.

This end mill is suited to light-material removal, slotting, profiling, and finishing passes where a small-diameter tool is required. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry in addition to peripheral cuts. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration make it compatible with standard CNC machining centers and manual knee mills running conventional spindle rotation. The uncoated finish is appropriate for applications where coating buildup tolerance is tight or where re-sharpening is anticipated.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and edge stability
• 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
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute — compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• Stub length (1-1/2-inch OAL) for maximum rigidity in tight setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tooling for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8-inch straight cylindrical shank. Fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders sized for 1/8-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the tool holder specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut, as small-diameter carbide tools are sensitive to excessive runout and can fracture under load.
