Sgs 34730 Square End Mill 1/4 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34730 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision material removal in non-ferrous metal machining applications. It features a 1/4 inch cutting diameter, a 3/8 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length with a straight cylindrical 1/4 inch shank. The tool carries a TiB2 (titanium diboride) coating and a 38-degree helix angle, which promotes efficient chip evacuation and surface finish quality in aluminum, brass, copper, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. With 3 spiral flutes and right-hand cut and flute geometry, this end mill suits CNC machining centers and manual mills running non-ferrous stock.

The SGS 34730 is intended for light-to-medium material removal passes in non-ferrous metals, including aluminum alloys and other N-group materials per ISO workpiece classification. Its regular-length geometry fits standard tool holders and collet chucks without extended-reach setups. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance environments use this tool where tight diameter tolerances and consistent finish are required on non-ferrous components.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous cutting
• TiB2 coating reduces built-up edge and improves tool life in aluminum and copper alloys
• 38-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• 3 spiral flutes with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction
• Straight cylindrical shank with tight diameter tolerance of +0.00000 / -0.00035 inches
• Non-centercutting design — not intended for plunge milling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills using 1/4 inch collet chucks or end mill holders targeting non-ferrous metal workpieces. Part of the SGS Series 43 product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware per the machine tool manufacturer specifications. This tool is not centercutting — do not use for direct plunge operations without a pre-drilled entry point.
