Sgs 02673 Square End Mill 0.035 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 02673 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in CNC machining and manual milling applications. It features a 0.035-inch cutting diameter with a 0.28-inch length of cut and a 4-flute geometry that supports efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes at high feed rates. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life when cutting hardened steels, stainless, and high-temperature alloys. The micrograin carbide substrate adds rigidity and edge retention in tight-tolerance work. This end mill is suited for machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators working in job shops, production environments, or toolroom settings.

The SGS 02673 is well suited for slot milling, profiling, and contouring in materials that generate significant heat at the cutting edge. Its extended-length classification and 2.5-inch overall length allow access to features with moderate depth requirements. The straight cylindrical shank with a 0.125-inch diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly used on vertical machining centers and CNC routers. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling operations on most machine tool setups.

Key Features

• 0.035-inch cutting diameter with a mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.001 inches for close-tolerance work
• AlTiN coating for high-heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and difficult-to-machine alloys
• 4-flute spiral geometry supports improved surface finish and higher feed rates compared to 2-flute designs
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate provides rigidity and sharp edge retention
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and chip flow for general-purpose milling
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into workpiece material

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with collet systems or end mill holders accepting a 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the manufacturer-specified minimum engagement depth before tightening. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or damage before each use, as micro-diameter end mills are sensitive to runout and improper clamping torque.
