Sgs 00617 Square End Mill 0.035 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 00617 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metal, composite, and engineered material applications. The cutting diameter measures 0.035 inches with a length of cut of 0.28 inches, making it well suited for fine-feature slot milling, profiling, and contouring at tight tolerances. The four-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding cuts. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for general-purpose use across a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this type of tooling.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter, high-precision cuts are required. The 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank is a common size that fits standard collet toolholding systems. The 2.5-inch overall length allows adequate reach for most bench-depth applications without compromising rigidity. This tool is appropriate for shops working on precision components, mold making, die work, and prototype fabrication where dimensional accuracy is critical.

Key Features

• 0.035-inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.001 inches for tight, repeatable fits
• Four flutes with right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces on small-diameter tools
• Micrograin solid carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention beyond high-speed steel alternatives
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling across a range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank square end mill for use in collet-style toolholding systems accepting a 0.125-inch shank diameter. Fits conventional and CNC milling machines equipped with ER, DA, or equivalent collet systems in that bore range.

Installation Notes

This tooling should be installed and set up by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or seating the tool in the collet. Ensure the collet bore and shank are clean and free of chips before tightening. At 0.035-inch diameter, this tool is highly susceptible to breakage from excessive feed rates, runout, or improper collet seating — verify runout with an indicator before cutting.
