Sgs 34683 Square End Mill 5/8 Inch 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34683 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling of non-ferrous metals. Part of the SGS Series 47E, it features a 5/8 inch cutting diameter, a 3/4 inch length of cut, and a 6 inch overall length with a matching 5/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The TiB2 (titanium diboride) coating reduces friction and extends tool life in aluminum, copper, brass, and similar materials. The 35-degree helix spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the centercutting design allows plunge entry. This tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shop and production environments.

The SGS 34683 is suited for slotting, profiling, and pocket milling operations on non-ferrous workpieces. Its extended reach configuration, with a reach length of 3-3/8 inches, makes it effective where standard-length tools cannot access deeper features. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are standard for conventional CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers. Two-flute geometry keeps chip load per tooth manageable at higher feed rates typical of aluminum roughing and finishing passes.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• TiB2 coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life on aluminum and copper alloys
• 35-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation in deep cuts
• Centercutting design permits direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Extended reach with 3-3/8 inch reach length for deep-cavity milling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute — compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tooling solution for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 5/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank, primarily for use on non-ferrous metal workpieces per Series 47E application guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Secure the shank in a collet chuck or end mill holder rated for the 5/8 inch shank diameter and torque to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify spindle runout before engaging the cut; excessive runout accelerates flute wear and can cause chatter. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling.
