Sgs 34715 Square End Mill 1/2 in 3-flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34715 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling of non-ferrous metals. It features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter with a 3.125-inch length of cut, a 0.5-inch straight cylindrical shank, and a 6-inch overall length. The three-flute geometry and 38-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes in materials such as aluminum, copper, and brass. This is a single-end, uncoated tool intended for use by machinists and CNC operators who require consistent performance in non-ferrous applications. The tool is not centercutting and is not designed for plunge entry.

The SGS 34715 is suited for conventional and CNC milling operations in job shops, aerospace component machining, and production environments working primarily with non-ferrous metals. Its regular-length profile and spiral flute design make it a practical choice for side milling, slotting, and peripheral cuts where a long length of cut is required. This end mill belongs to the SGS Series 43, a line optimized for non-ferrous workpiece materials classified under material code N.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling
• 38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces heat buildup
• Three-flute design balances chip clearance with cut surface quality
• 3.125-inch length of cut supports deep slotting and side milling operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle direction
• Uncoated finish suited to non-ferrous materials where coating adhesion can be a concern

Compatibility

Designed for use in non-ferrous metal milling applications (material code N), including aluminum, copper, and similar alloys. This tool is part of the SGS Series 43 end mill line. No additional specific compatible machine models or replacement part numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.5-inch shank diameter, ensuring adequate runout tolerance. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and depth of cut before starting the operation. This tool is not centercutting — avoid direct plunge entry; use ramping or helical interpolation for pocket entry.
