Sgs 02679 Square End Mill 0.06in 4 Flute Altin Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 02679 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous and hardened materials. It features a 0.06 inch cutting diameter, a 0.48 inch length of cut, and four flutes with a 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters. An AlTiN coating adds heat resistance and extends tool life in high-speed and dry cutting applications. This end mill is single-end, center-cutting, and suited for slotting, profiling, and plunging operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is used in applications requiring tight tolerances and fine detail work at small diameters. It is well suited for die and mold work, aerospace component machining, and precision part production in tool steels, stainless steel, and other difficult-to-machine alloys. The extended length designation and 2.5 inch overall length allow access to deeper features while the straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet systems. Machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops or production environments will find this tool appropriate for finish passes and light slotting at high spindle speeds.

Key Features

• 0.06 inch cutting diameter with mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.001 inches for precise fitment
• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature resistance and extended tool life in dry and high-speed cutting
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and edge retention at small diameters
• 4-flute, right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix for efficient chip removal
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance fits standard ER and DA collet chucks

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with standard collet systems accepting a 0.125 inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet and torque the collet nut to the collet manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as runout at this diameter can significantly affect tool life and surface finish.
