Sgs 00508 Square End Mill 0.1 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00508 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built to Series 1610 standards, this end mill features a 0.1-inch cutting diameter, a 19/64-inch (0.3-inch) length of cut, and a 1/8-inch straight cylindrical shank, with an overall length of 1.5 inches. The 2-flute, spiral-flute geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in slot milling, profiling, and finishing passes. Micrograin carbide construction delivers edge retention and dimensional stability under demanding cutting conditions. This tool is installed and applied by machinists and CNC operators working in precision machining environments.

The SGS 00508 is suited for light to medium milling applications where a small-diameter, short-reach end mill is required. Typical use cases include detail profiling, slotting, and contour milling on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The centercutting design allows plunge entry, adding versatility for pocketing operations. The uncoated finish makes this end mill a practical choice for aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous materials, as well as for applications where regrinding and recoating are part of the shop workflow.

Key Features

• 0.1-inch cutting diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0008 inches for precision fitment
• 19/64-inch (0.3-inch) length of cut in a regular-length profile
• 2-flute spiral configuration with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for consistent edge retention
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute orientation; straight cylindrical shank for standard collet chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide end mill fitting standard 1/8-inch collet chucks and tool holders used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the 1/8-inch shank fully and evenly in a matched collet or end mill holder and torque the retention nut to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before commencing a production cut.
