Sgs 34301 Corner Radius End Mill 0.5 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34301 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 1.25 inch length of cut (LOC), and a 0.03 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentrations at the bottom of a cut and extends tool life compared to a sharp-corner geometry. The three-flute design balances chip evacuation with cutting edge strength. With a 38-degree helix angle and a bright, uncoated finish, this end mill suits a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. It is centercutting, allowing plunge entry into a workpiece.

The SGS 34301 fits standard CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual knee mills where a 0.5 inch shank collet or end mill holder is used. It is suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes in mold making, die work, and general precision machining. The S-Carb 43CB series geometry is intended for applications where a radiused corner is required at the floor of a pocket or profile. Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling in typical shop setups.

Key Features

• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress risers in the workpiece
• Three flutes with 38-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance versus high-speed steel
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Regular length geometry for standard reach applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in any machine tool accepting a 0.5 inch shank end mill via collet chuck, end mill holder, or hydraulic toolholder. Part of the SGS S-Carb 43CB series.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of end mills should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine spindle fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify collet or holder bore size matches the 0.5 inch shank diameter before seating the tool. Inspect the cutting edges and shank for damage before each use. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and tooling manufacturer recommendations for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for the specific workpiece material.
