Sgs 30844 Square End Mill 5/8 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 30844 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision metal removal in CNC machining and manual milling operations. It features a 5/8-inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4-inch length of cut, and a 3-1/2-inch overall length with a straight cylindrical 5/8-inch shank. The three-flute geometry with a 30-degree spiral helix angle balances chip evacuation and wall finish. An AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and tool life when cutting ferrous and high-temp alloy materials. This tool is centercutting, allowing plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole. It is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production and jobshop environments.

The SGS 30844 Series 5 end mill is suited for milling operations on a range of workpiece materials including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, mild steel, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The regular-length profile and standard 5/8-inch shank make it compatible with common ER and side-lock toolholders used on vertical machining centers, knee mills, and CNC routers. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation is standard for conventional and climb milling strategies.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN finish provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous cutting
• Three-flute spiral design balances material removal rate with chip clearance
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 30-degree helix angle supports smooth cutting action and good surface finish
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute - compatible with standard spindle rotation on most machining centers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in SGS Series 5, compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as specified by the manufacturer. Fits standard 5/8-inch straight-cylindrical toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols. Ensure the toolholder bore is clean and free of chips before seating the shank, and torque the retention screw or collet nut to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Confirm spindle rotation direction matches the right-hand cut orientation before engaging the workpiece. Inspect the cutting edges for damage before each use and replace the tool if chipping or wear is observed.
