Sgs 31437 Square End Mill 7/16 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 31437 is a solid carbide, double-end square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) diameter with a 9/16 inch length of cut and a 30-degree right-hand helix. The micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding cutting operations. With four flutes and a center-cutting design, it is capable of plunge cuts as well as peripheral and slot milling. This tool is sold as a single unit and is intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals in shop or production environments.

The SGS 31437 is suited for milling operations in a broad range of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, titanium alloys, carbon steels, and heat-resistant superalloys, as indicated by its primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The stub length classification and double-end configuration make it a practical choice for general-purpose milling where tool rigidity and economy are both priorities. It fits standard straight-cylindrical shank toolholders and collet chucks.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for high hardness and extended tool life
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends, extending service interval
• Center-cutting capable — supports plunge, slot, and peripheral milling
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip evacuation
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use across a wide material range
• Stub length classification maximizes rigidity in tight-clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-cylindrical shank toolholders and collet systems accepting a 7/16 inch shank diameter. Compatible with workpiece material classes H, K, M, N, P, and S per the SGS Series 14 designation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the end mill. Verify shank engagement depth meets toolholder manufacturer minimums to prevent pullout under cutting loads. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable machine guarding standards during setup and operation.
