Sgs 32788 Corner Radius End Mill 5/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 32788 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. The 32788 features a 5/8-inch cutting diameter with a 0.06-inch corner radius and three right-hand spiral flutes in a coarse pitch configuration. Overall length is 6 inches with a 3/4-inch length of cut and a 3-3/8-inch reach length, making it well suited for extended-reach operations. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention needed for consistent cuts in aluminum, brass, copper, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. This is a single-end, straight-cylindrical shank tool rated for roughing-class material removal.

The 32788 belongs to the SGS Series 43LC family and is configured as a short-length, extended-reach roughing end mill. It is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where non-ferrous metals are the primary workpiece material. The high-helix, right-hand cutting geometry promotes chip evacuation in aluminum and other gummy materials. The 5/8-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard end mill toolholders and collet chucks of the same bore size. No coolant-through capability is present, so flood or mist coolant is applied externally at the toolholder.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch cutting diameter with 0.06-inch corner radius for blended edges and reduced chipping at corners
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention in non-ferrous metal roughing
• 3 right-hand spiral flutes with coarse pitch for aggressive chip removal
• 3-3/8-inch reach length supports extended-reach machining setups
• Bright/uncoated finish optimized for non-ferrous materials including aluminum
• Straight-cylindrical 5/8-inch shank fits standard end mill toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill toolholders accepting a 5/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material is non-ferrous metal. Part of the SGS Series 43LC end mill line.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the shank fully within the toolholder to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth before tightening. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before starting a cut, as excessive runout accelerates corner radius wear. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling in accordance with applicable machine safety procedures.
