Sgs 00570 Square End Mill 1/16 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00570 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and other hard materials. Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers tight tolerances and extended tool life compared to standard carbide grades. The 00570 runs a 1/16-inch cutting diameter with a 3/16-inch length of cut and a 4-flute spiral geometry that supports efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/8 inch in diameter, making it compatible with standard collet toolholders. This tool is used by machinists and toolroom technicians on CNC mills and manual vertical mills for fine detail work and slot milling.

The SGS 00570 is suited for applications requiring small-diameter, high-precision cuts. Its regular-length geometry and right-hand cutting and flute direction make it a standard configuration for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling passes in tight geometries. The centercutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without pre-drilling. This tool is appropriate for production and prototype work in job shops, aerospace component machining, and medical device manufacturing where fine features demand close dimensional control.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended wear resistance and dimensional stability
• 4 right-hand spiral flutes with centercutting capability for direct plunge entry
• 1/16-inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0008 inches
• 3/16-inch length of cut and 1-1/2-inch overall length in a regular-length configuration
• 1/8-inch straight cylindrical shank for standard collet and toolholder compatibility
• Bright/uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry in non-ferrous applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank solid carbide square end mill fitting 1/8-inch collets and toolholders on CNC and manual milling machines. Part of the SGS Series 1810 product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or toolholder and torque the retention mechanism according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
