Sgs 32041 Square End Mill 0.5 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 32041 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in CNC machining and manual milling applications. This single-end, center-cutting tool features a 0.5-inch mill diameter, a 2-inch length of cut, and a 4-inch overall length with a 0.5-inch straight cylindrical shank. The 45-degree helix angle and two right-hand spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action, particularly in non-ferrous metal stock. This tool ships uncoated and is suitable for shops running standard toolpath strategies on aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials.

The SGS 32041 is intended for use on non-ferrous metals as its primary workpiece material. It fits standard collet and end mill holders accepting a 0.5-inch straight shank. The regular length classification and fixed 4-inch OAL make it a practical selection for general-purpose pocketing, slotting, profiling, and contouring operations where extended reach is not required. Machinists working in job shop, production, and toolroom environments will find this a straightforward drop-in option for common milling setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• 45-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry directly into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders
• Uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous metals where coating is not required

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 44 solid carbide square end mill for use with non-ferrous metals; fits any standard 0.5-inch collet or end mill holder on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power isolated before tool changes. Secure the shank fully within the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth per the holder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before commencing cuts. Consult the machine tool builder's guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for the workpiece material.
