Sgs 34515 Square End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34515 is a 2-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling of non-ferrous metals and similar materials. With a 0.5000 inch mill diameter, a 1.25 inch length of cut, and a 45-degree helix angle, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and clean edge geometry in demanding machining environments. The micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent performance in production and job-shop settings. It is a single-end, stub-length tool suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills operated by machinists and toolroom professionals.

The SGS 34515 is intended for milling non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials classified under workpiece material code N. The stub-length profile limits overhang and reduces deflection, making it well suited for applications where rigidity is critical. The 45-degree right-hand spiral flute configuration promotes aggressive chip removal while maintaining a smooth cut finish. This end mill fits standard 1/2 inch collets and tool holders equipped for Weldon flat shanks.

Key Features

• 0.5000 inch mill diameter with tight tolerance of +0.00000 / -0.00043 inches for precise fitment
• 45-degree helix angle promotes fast chip evacuation in non-ferrous milling applications
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life and edge retention
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Weldon flat shank provides positive drive and eliminates tool pullout in high-feed operations
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, single-end design for standard CNC and manual mill setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in 1/2 inch end mill holders and collet chucks with Weldon flat shank clearance, compatible with standard CNC machining centers and manual knee mills running non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the tool holder manufacturer torque and retention specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the Weldon flat shank fully into the holder and tighten the set screw against the flat to prevent axial pullout during cutting. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts.
