Sgs 32044 Square End Mill 5/8 Inch 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 32044 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in non-ferrous metal applications. With a 5/8 inch cutting diameter and a 2-1/2 inch length of cut, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations where dimensional accuracy is critical. The 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. Built from solid carbide throughout, the 32044 delivers the rigidity and wear resistance that machining professionals require on production floors and job shops alike.

This end mill is engineered for use on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. The two-flute, centercutting configuration allows for both plunge entry and conventional milling passes. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute geometry make it compatible with standard CNC machining centers and manual knee mills running conventional spindle rotation. The regular-length body and straight-cylindrical shank suit most standard ER and set-screw style toolholders at 5/8 inch bore.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in non-ferrous applications
• 45-degree helix angle for improved chip flow and reduced heat buildup
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Two-flute configuration maximizes chip gullet size for aggressive material removal
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for use with standard spindle rotation
• Uncoated finish suited for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals where coating buildup is a concern

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 44 solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 5/8 inch bore toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual mills processing non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Insert the straight-cylindrical shank fully into the toolholder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after securing to avoid premature edge wear or dimensional error.
