Sgs 00579 Square End Mill 0.1 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00579 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.1-inch cutting diameter, four flutes, and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool delivers clean, accurate cuts in a compact form factor. The micrograin carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance suited to tight-tolerance work. It features a straight cylindrical shank with a 0.125-inch shank diameter and an overall length of 1.5 inches. The centercutting geometry allows plunge cutting in addition to standard peripheral milling. Intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working with fine-featured parts.

The SGS 00579 is suited for light milling, slotting, and profiling passes in materials where precision and edge integrity are critical. Its regular-length classification and compact 0.3-inch length of cut make it appropriate for shallow pockets and detailed features. The 1/8-inch shank fits standard collet toolholding systems common in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and high-speed spindle setups. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute geometry make this a conventional-rotation tool compatible with standard mill spindle configurations.

Key Features

• 0.1-inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 / -0.0008 inches for precise fitment
• Four-flute spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle for smooth chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute — standard rotation for conventional CNC and manual mills
• Straight cylindrical shank fits 1/8-inch collets and toolholders
• Series 1810, uncoated, no chipbreaker, non-variable helix and index

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with 1/8-inch collet or toolholding systems. Part of the SGS Series 1810 square end mill line for regular-length, small-diameter milling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe lockout state before changing tooling. Insert the shank fully into a properly sized 1/8-inch collet and torque the collet nut per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout after seating to maintain dimensional accuracy on tight-tolerance features.
