Sgs 00596 Square End Mill 0.06 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00596 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.06-inch cutting diameter, 4-flute geometry, and a 30-degree helix angle, it delivers clean, accurate cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention needed for tight-tolerance work. A bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose applications where coating adhesion or heat buildup is not a primary concern. This tool is typically installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC programmers working on precision components in job shops and production environments.

The SGS 00596 fits standard 1/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank collets and is suited for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and high-speed spindle setups. Its extended-length classification and 0.3-inch length of cut make it appropriate for slotting, profiling, and light pocketing operations where a small-diameter tool is required. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling passes.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and edge retention in precision milling
• 4-flute design with 30-degree helix angle for smooth chip evacuation and surface finish
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling without specialized coating requirements
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard milling operations
• Tight mill diameter tolerance of plus 0.000 to minus 0.001 inches for accurate feature sizing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank collet systems on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a 0.06-inch diameter square end mill.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed and operated by machinists or CNC technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet to the recommended engagement depth and torque the collet nut according to the machine manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as micrograin carbide is rigid and can fracture if run in a worn or improperly secured condition.
