Sgs 34507 Square End Mill 5/16 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34507 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for precise material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. With a 0.3125 inch mill diameter, a 1.375 inch length of cut, and a 45-degree helix angle, this tool delivers aggressive chip evacuation and clean square-shoulder profiles. The micrograin carbide substrate provides hardness and wear resistance suitable for demanding production environments. It is a single-end, centercutting design, meaning it can plunge as well as profile cut. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in CNC and manual milling operations are the primary users of this type of end mill.

The SGS 34507 is designed primarily for cutting non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar soft alloys. Its 2-flute geometry provides ample flute volume for chip clearance in these materials, reducing the risk of chip re-cutting and built-up edge. The stub length classification keeps the tool rigid and reduces deflection during aggressive lateral passes. It is well suited to profiling, slotting, and pocketing operations on vertical machining centers and manual knee mills alike.

Key Features

• 0.3125 inch mill diameter with tight tolerance of +0.00000 / -0.00035 inches for accurate fits
• 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and extended tool life
• 2-flute spiral flute design with centercutting capability allows plunge entry
• Weldon flat shank provides positive drive and prevents tool pullout in the holder
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids on non-ferrous workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use in milling applications with non-ferrous metals (material code N). Fits standard 3/8 inch Weldon-style end mill holders. Part of the SGS Series 44 stub-length end mill line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing end mills. Seat the Weldon flat against the set screw in the holder and torque the set screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish.
