Sgs 33311 Square End Mill 1/2 Inch 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 33311 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of metalworking and machining applications. It features a 1/2 inch mill diameter, a 2 inch length of cut, and a 4-1/2 inch overall length, placing it in the long-length Series 3L category. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the centercutting design allows for plunge entry into workpieces. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, this end mill delivers rigidity and edge retention in demanding cutting conditions. The uncoated finish suits applications where coating-specific considerations apply.

The SGS 33311 is suited for milling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, cast irons, high-temperature alloys, and non-metallic materials, as indicated by the primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. Its long length of cut makes it a practical choice for deep pocket milling, slotting, and profiling operations where standard-length tools cannot reach. This end mill is typically used in CNC machining centers and manual mills in job shop, production, and toolroom environments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended edge life
• 2-flute spiral flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and deep pocket operations
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Long Series 3L classification with 2 inch length of cut for extended reach applications
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting force and chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Compatible with workpiece material categories H, K, M, N, P, and S as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before inserting or removing the end mill from the tool holder. Use an appropriate collet, end mill holder, or hydraulic chuck rated for a 1/2 inch shank diameter. Verify runout after clamping to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece deviation.
