Sgs 00574 Square End Mill 5/64 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00574 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking, die and mold, and general machining applications. The tool features a 5/64 inch (0.080 inch) cutting diameter with a 0.24 inch length of cut, a 1/8 inch straight cylindrical shank, and a 1-1/2 inch overall length. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it provides the rigidity and edge retention needed for tight-tolerance work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Four spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle promote chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This is a centercutting, uncoated end mill suited for machinists and toolroom professionals running CNC or manual milling equipment.

The SGS 00574 is intended for light-stock-removal and finishing passes in small-feature milling where a fine cutting diameter is required. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and pocketing in aluminum, steel, brass, and similar machinable materials. The regular-length geometry and right-hand cut with right-hand flute configuration make it a standard choice for conventional milling setups. It is well-suited to mold cavities, precision fixtures, and fine detail work where a sub-1/8 inch cutting diameter is called for.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity at small diameters
• 5/64 inch (0.080 inch) cutting diameter with a tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0008 inches
• 4-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle operation
• Straight cylindrical 1/8 inch shank compatible with standard collet systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with standard 1/8 inch collet or end mill holder systems. Part of the SGS Series 1810 end mill family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after setup, as excessive runout at this diameter will accelerate tool wear and compromise surface finish.
