Sgs 34652 Ball End Mill 0.5in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34652 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for finishing operations in non-ferrous metal applications. Part of the SGS Series 47EB, it features a 0.5-inch diameter ball nose profile with a 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration and a 35-degree helix angle. The micrograin carbide construction delivers the edge retention needed for tight-tolerance finishing cuts. With a 1.5-inch neck and extended reach geometry, this end mill is suited for deep-cavity and contoured surface work where standard-length tools cannot access the cut zone. A licensed machinist or CNC operator typically selects this tool for aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials.

The SGS 34652 is built for finishing passes on non-ferrous metals in milling applications where extended reach is required. The long-length profile, with a 6-inch overall length and 2.125-inch reach, allows access to deep pockets and complex contoured surfaces. It is appropriate for CNC machining centers running high-speed finishing programs on aluminum and similar non-ferrous alloys. The single-end, right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional CNC mill spindle rotation.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch ball nose diameter for contoured and 3D surface finishing
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral flute design optimized for non-ferrous metals
• 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation on finishing passes
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and dimensional stability
• Extended reach with 1.5-inch neck length and 2.125-inch reach length for deep-cavity access
• Uncoated finish - appropriate for non-ferrous materials where coatings are not required
• Series 47EB long-length classification for deep-pocket milling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide ball end mill for use in CNC milling machines with a 0.5-inch collet or end mill holder accepting a 0.5-inch shank. Primary workpiece material code N indicates suitability for non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or in a safe tool-change state before inserting or removing the end mill. Secure the 0.5-inch shank in a properly sized collet or shrink-fit holder to the tool manufacturer's recommended seating depth. Do not use this tool on ferrous materials, as it is rated for non-ferrous workpiece materials only.
