Sgs 34745 Square End Mill 5/8 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34745 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling of non-ferrous metals. With a 0.625-inch mill diameter, a 2.5-inch length of cut, and a 5-inch overall length, this single-end tool is built for demanding material removal in production and job-shop environments. The TiB2 (titanium diboride) finish reduces friction and resists built-up edge when cutting aluminum, copper, brass, and similar materials. A 38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Machinists and CNC operators in metalworking shops use this end mill for profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations requiring tight dimensional control.

This end mill is suited for milling non-ferrous metals in both light and heavy-duty machining applications. Its spiral flute geometry and right-hand cut with right-hand flute configuration make it a standard choice for conventional and climb milling passes on CNC vertical machining centers and manual knee mills. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders. It is classified as a regular-length tool, making it appropriate for most general-purpose milling setups where extended reach is not required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• TiB2 finish reduces friction and resists built-up edge on aluminum and soft metals
• 38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance and cutting edge strength
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute for standard CNC and manual mill compatibility
• Tight diameter tolerances (+0.00000 / -0.00043 inches) support precise finish cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct selection for non-ferrous milling applications using standard collet or end mill holder tooling systems. Primary workpiece material classification is non-ferrous metal (code N). SGS Series 43 designation applies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify that the collet or end mill holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, particularly when tight tolerances are required.
