Sgs 30454 Square End Mill 3/8 Inch 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 30454 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of workpiece materials. It features a 3/8 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 2-1/2 inch overall length with a matching 3/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral flute geometry at a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation. Micrograin carbide substrate supports tight tolerances and consistent edge integrity across production runs. This tool is installed and run by machinists and CNC operators in job shop and manufacturing environments.

The SGS 30454 is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in materials spanning high-temperature alloys, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, non-metals, steel, and stainless steel, as indicated by workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole. The regular-length geometry fits standard toolholders and collet chucks used on vertical and horizontal machining centers as well as manual knee mills.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN finish for thermal protection in high-speed and dry cutting applications
• 2-flute right-hand spiral design at 30-degree helix for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting geometry enables direct plunge milling
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish
• Straight-cylindrical shank with shank diameter tolerance of +0.00000 / -0.00035 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/8 inch straight shank collet or toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Secure the shank fully in a collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before tool changes. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and depth of cut being used.
