Sgs 34623 Square End Mill 5/16 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34623 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of non-ferrous metals and similar materials. With a 5/16-inch cutting diameter and a 13/16-inch length of cut, it handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in tight-tolerance applications. The 2-flute geometry with a 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and improving surface finish. The uncoated solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance in applications where coatings are not required. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling professionals in production and job-shop environments.

The SGS 34623 is suited for milling non-ferrous metals including aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. Its center-cutting design allows plunge entry, making it versatile for ramping, pocketing, and contouring operations. The straight cylindrical shank measures 5/16 inch in diameter, fitting standard ER and end mill holder collets. With a 2-1/2-inch overall length and a regular-length classification, it fits typical milling setups without excessive overhang. This is a Series 47 tool from SGS.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling
• 2-flute geometry with 35-degree helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design permits plunge, ramp, and pocket entry
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration
• Uncoated finish suited for aluminum and other non-ferrous alloys
• Straight cylindrical shank with tight diameter tolerance for secure tool holding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-application solid carbide end mill for standard ER collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 5/16-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or end mill holder and torque the collet nut to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish.
