Sgs 34713 Square End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34713 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. With a 1/2 inch cutting diameter and a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, this three-flute tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and clean edge finishes on materials such as aluminum, brass, and copper. The 38-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces chatter. The micrograin carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance suited for high-speed machining operations. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this end mill in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where tight tolerances are required.

The SGS 34713 is intended for use in non-ferrous metal cutting applications in job shop, production, and toolroom environments. Its regular length profile and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction conform to the most common spindle configurations found in vertical machining centers. This end mill is a single-end tool, meaning it is replaced rather than indexed when the cutting edge is worn.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and dimensional stability
• 38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduced cutting forces on non-ferrous metals
• Three flutes provide a balance of chip clearance and cutting edge strength
• Bright/uncoated finish suited for aluminum and other non-ferrous materials where coating adhesion can cause built-up edge
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral match standard CNC spindle rotation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet and end mill holder tooling

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with standard 1/2 inch collet chucks or end mill holders. Optimized for primary workpiece materials classified as non-ferrous metals (Material Code N), including aluminum alloys, brass, copper, and similar materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, particularly in tight-tolerance applications.
