Sgs 32045 Square End Mill 3/4 Inch 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 32045 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling of non-ferrous metals. It features a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1-5/8 inch length of cut, and a 3-7/8 inch overall length. The 2-flute geometry with a 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and clean surface finishes in aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. The straight cylindrical shank measures 3/4 inch in diameter. This is a centercutting tool, allowing plunge entry into workpieces. Uncoated carbide construction is well matched to non-ferrous applications where coating adhesion or material pickup can be a concern. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

The SGS 32045 is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills running non-ferrous workpiece materials. Its regular-length profile makes it appropriate for standard-depth peripheral milling, slotting, and plunge operations where extended reach is not required. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is the standard orientation for conventional and climb milling on most machine tool setups. Series 44 identifies this as part of SGS's established square end mill line for general-purpose non-ferrous work.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch cutting diameter with tight tolerance of +0.00000 / -0.00051 inches
• 2-flute spiral design with 45-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal in non-ferrous metals
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Uncoated finish optimized for non-ferrous material compatibility
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute for standard machine tool orientation

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and conventional milling machines with standard straight-shank tool holders or collets accepting a 3/4 inch shank. Primary workpiece material classification is non-ferrous metal (material code N).

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine in a locked-out or e-stopped state per shop safety procedures. Ensure the collet or end mill holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping, as carbide end mills are sensitive to excessive runout. Always consult the machine manufacturer and tooling documentation for appropriate speeds, feeds, and depth-of-cut parameters before use.
