Sgs 00540 Square End Mill 1/32 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00540 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 1/32 inch (0.0313 inch) cutting diameter and a 3/32 inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail work and tight-tolerance slots, pockets, and contours. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation while delivering a smooth surface finish. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

The SGS 00540 is suited for precision work in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter end mills are required. Its 1/8 inch straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and tool holders in that bore size. The regular length classification and 1-1/2 inch overall length make it appropriate for shallow-reach operations where rigidity and minimal deflection are priorities. It is center-cutting, allowing direct plunge entry into the workpiece.

Key Features

• 4-flute, right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and hardness
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge milling
• 1/8 inch straight cylindrical shank for standard collet compatibility
• Uncoated finish; Series 1810 regular length classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8 inch straight cylindrical shank collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet or tool holder. Use the correct collet size and torque the drawbar or nut according to the machine manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as small-diameter carbide tools are susceptible to breakage if run at incorrect feeds and speeds.
