Sgs 34501 Square End Mill 0.25 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34501 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling of non-ferrous metals and similar materials. With a 0.25-inch cutting diameter, a 0.75-inch length of cut, and a 45-degree helix angle, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and clean edge geometry in demanding cutting environments. The two-flute, spiral configuration allows for aggressive material removal while maintaining surface finish quality. The stub-length design provides added rigidity, reducing deflection during cuts. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop settings.

This tool is suited for milling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. The stub length and 0.25-inch diameter make it appropriate for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations where a shorter flute-to-shank ratio is preferred for rigidity. The Weldon flat shank ensures positive drive in side-lock tool holders, making it a reliable choice for CNC machining centers and manual knee mills running non-ferrous stock.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling
• 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Two-flute spiral design balances material removal rate with chip clearance
• Centercutting geometry allows for plunge milling operations
• Weldon flat shank provides secure, positive engagement in side-lock holders
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute — compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with tool holders accepting a 0.375-inch Weldon flat shank. Intended primarily for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials per SGS Series 44 application guidance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator familiar with end mill tooling and machine setup procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully de-energized and locked out before loading or changing tooling. Secure the Weldon flat shank firmly in a side-lock holder, aligning the flat to the set screw to prevent tool pull-out under load. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation and before beginning any cutting operation.
