Sgs 00500 Square End Mill 0.065 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00500 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.065 inch cutting diameter and a 0.195 inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail work and slot milling in tight geometries. The micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention well beyond high-speed steel alternatives. A 30-degree helix angle and spiral flute geometry promote chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This end mill ships individually and is sized for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter tooling is required.

The SGS 00500 belongs to the Series 1610 regular-length end mill lineup. It is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 0.125 inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 1/8 inch collets and tool holders. The uncoated finish makes it a straightforward choice for general-purpose cuts where substrate hardness alone provides sufficient tool life. Machinists and toolroom technicians working on precision components, mold details, or prototype parts will find this tool appropriate for light-to-moderate material removal in confined areas.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for high hardness and edge retention
• Square end profile with centercutting capability for plunge and slot entry
• 30-degree helix angle with spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• 0.125 inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 1/8 inch collets
• Uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous milling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style small-diameter end mill for use in CNC machining centers, manual vertical mills, and die-sink applications that accept 1/8 inch straight-shank tooling via collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth before tightening. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are set appropriately for the workpiece material and tool diameter before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edge for chipping or wear before each use, as small-diameter carbide tools are susceptible to breakage under excessive lateral load or improper runout.
