Sgs 34707 Square End Mill 5/16 Inch 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34707 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of non-ferrous metals and similar materials. It features a 5/16 inch cutting diameter, a 5/8 inch length of cut, and a 2-1/2 inch overall length. The three-flute geometry with a 38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The straight cylindrical shank measures 5/16 inch in diameter, fitting standard collet and end mill holders. This is a single-end, uncoated tool suited for shops and field machinists running high-speed operations on aluminum, brass, copper, and similar non-ferrous workpieces.

The SGS 34707 falls within the Series 43 product line and is configured for right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction. It is a regular-length tool, making it a practical choice for standard profiling, slotting, and contouring operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The uncoated carbide construction is well suited for non-ferrous applications where coatings may not be necessary or where lubricant-based cutting is preferred. This tool is not center-cutting and is intended for peripheral and side milling rather than plunge entry.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• 38-degree helix angle for effective chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Three-flute spiral design balances material removal rate with surface finish quality
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling setups
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.00000 / -0.00035 inches for precise fit and consistent results
• Uncoated finish suited for aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a Series 43 SGS solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 5/16 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines processing non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tools can fracture if run in a damaged state.
