Sgs 32608 Corner Radius End Mill 0.1563 in 5 Flute Altin

Product Description

The SGS 32608 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in demanding machining applications. Built to Series 55C specifications, it features a 0.1563-inch diameter, a 0.01-inch corner radius, and an AlTiN (Ti-NAMITE-A) coating that provides thermal resistance and extended tool life. With 5 helical flutes and a variable index design, the 32608 handles both roughing and finishing passes on ferrous and exotic materials. It is intended for use in CNC machining centers with standard end mill holders.

This end mill is suited for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The 5/16-inch length of cut and 0.1563-inch diameter make it well matched to tight-tolerance slot, profile, and contour work where a small-diameter tool with corner protection is required. The single-end, straight-cylindrical shank seats directly in standard end mill holders without additional adapters.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating (Ti-NAMITE-A) for heat resistance and longer tool life in steel and superalloy cutting
• 5 helical flutes with variable index for reduced chatter and improved finish
• 0.01-inch corner radius protects cutting edge and reduces stress concentration at corners
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction — compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• Solid micrograin carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance
• Single-end design with straight-cylindrical shank for direct chuck or collet mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium; secondary application is hard material. Suitable for CNC milling operations requiring a small-diameter corner radius tool per Series 55C specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a safe, locked-out state. Seat the straight-cylindrical shank securely in a compatible end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Confirm cutting parameters — including feed rate, speed, and depth of cut — against the tool manufacturer's recommendations for the specific workpiece material before beginning a cut. Do not use this tool in a non-centercutting application that requires plunge entry.
