Sgs 34682 Square End Mill 0.625 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34682 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling of non-ferrous metals and similar materials. With a 0.625-inch (5/8 inch) mill diameter and a 0.750-inch length of cut, this tool delivers consistent, accurate results in production and job-shop environments. The TiB2 (titanium diboride) coating reduces friction and helps maintain edge integrity during high-speed cuts. A 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smoother cutting action. This is a single-end, centercutting tool, meaning it can plunge directly into a workpiece as well as perform peripheral milling. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers and manual mills use this end mill for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations.

The SGS 34682 is intended for use on non-ferrous metals, the primary workpiece material category for Series 47E tooling. Typical applications include aluminum alloys, copper, brass, and similar materials where a sharp, low-friction cutting edge is essential to surface finish quality and dimensional accuracy. The extended reach design, with a 2-3/8-inch reach length and a 6-inch overall length, allows access to deeper features and recessed areas without requiring a longer-reach extension. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard ER collets, side-lock holders, and shrink-fit tooling with a matching 0.625-inch bore.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous machining
• TiB2 coating reduces built-up edge and lowers cutting friction on aluminum and copper alloys
• 35-degree spiral flute helix promotes efficient chip flow and reduces heat buildup
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• Extended reach with 2-3/8-inch reach length suits deeper pockets and tall workpiece features
• 2-flute design maximizes chip clearance in softer, gummy non-ferrous materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with toolholders accepting a 0.625-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Optimized for non-ferrous metals per the Series 47E application designation. Mill diameter tolerance is -0.0001 to -0.0004 inches; shank diameter tolerance is +0.00000 to -0.00043 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom professional. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting. Always confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the workpiece. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide edges are brittle and sensitive to impact damage during handling and storage.
