Sgs 09687 Square End Mill 0.062 in 3 Flutes Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 09687 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.062-inch cutting diameter and a 0.093-inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail work and tight-tolerance slots, pockets, and profiling cuts. The three-flute configuration balances chip evacuation with cutting rigidity, and the 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth, efficient cutting action. Micrograin carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding production environments. The bright, uncoated finish makes this tool a straightforward choice for general-purpose milling where coating is not required.

This end mill is suited for machining shops, tool rooms, and production floors handling close-tolerance work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The long-series overall length of 2.5 inches and 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank allow it to fit standard collet chucks and tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. Its single-end, right-hand cutting geometry suits conventional and climb milling setups where fine feature detail and dimensional accuracy are the priority.

Key Features

• 0.062-inch cutting diameter with a tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.001 inch for close-tolerance work
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• 3-flute spiral flute design balances chip clearance and cutting stability
• 30-degree right-hand helix angle for smooth cutting action and reduced chatter
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry into workpieces
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling without coating-related heat buildup concerns
• Straight cylindrical shank with h6 shank diameter tolerance for consistent tool holder fit

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank, as used in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and tool room equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power isolated. Ensure the collet or tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank to maintain runout tolerances. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's recommended torque procedures when tightening the collet nut. Verify cutting parameters including spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut against the material being machined before beginning a cut.
