Sgs 32436 Tapered Ball End Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 32436 is a solid carbide tapered ball end mill designed for precision milling operations requiring a controlled taper profile. Built to Series 24B specifications, this tool features a 3-degree taper angle per side, a 1/4-inch small end diameter, and a 2-inch length of cut. The ball end geometry with a 1/8-inch nose radius enables smooth profiling, contouring, and finish passes in mold and die work, aerospace components, and other tight-tolerance machining applications. Machinists and tooling professionals install this end mill in CNC machining centers where accurate taper walls and blended radii are required.

The SGS 32436 is suited for use in CNC milling operations across a range of workpiece materials including hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys, as indicated by material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The 1/2-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard ER or end mill holders. With a 4-inch overall length and 28-degree helix angle, it handles both shallow and moderately deep cavity work where tapered wall geometry is specified in the part print.

Key Features

• 3-degree taper angle per side for precise draft wall milling
• Ball end geometry with 1/8-inch nose radius for smooth contour blending
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand spiral flutes with 28-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with or without coolant across multiple material types

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cutting tool replacement for use in CNC machining centers accepting a 1/2-inch shank diameter; compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as defined in the product specifications.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians using a properly sized collet chuck or end mill holder rated for the 1/2-inch shank diameter. Verify runout at the spindle before engaging the workpiece to protect edge integrity on the carbide flutes. Confirm feeds, speeds, and depth-of-cut parameters against the material being machined before operation. Handle carbide tooling carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edges during storage and setup.
