Sgs 34800 Corner Radius End Mill 0.5in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34800 is a single-end corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in non-ferrous metals. Built from solid carbide with a TiB2 (Ti-NAMITE-B) coating, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding milling operations. The tool measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 1.25-inch length of cut and a 3.25-inch overall length. Three right-hand spiral flutes with a 38-degree high helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation. A 0.010-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge. Coarse pitch geometry supports roughing applications. This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers by machinists and toolroom professionals.

The SGS 34800 is optimized for cutting non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials designated under material code N. It is suited for roughing passes where high chip loads and aggressive material removal rates are required. The straight cylindrical 0.5-inch shank seats directly into standard end mill toolholders. The single-end configuration makes it a direct fit for vertical and horizontal milling centers in production and job-shop environments where consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy on non-ferrous workpieces are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in non-ferrous milling
• TiB2 (Ti-NAMITE-B) coating reduces built-up edge and improves wear resistance on aluminum and non-ferrous alloys
• 38-degree high helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup
• 0.010-inch corner radius protects the cutting edge and improves surface finish at floor-to-wall transitions
• Coarse pitch, 3-flute right-hand spiral geometry optimized for roughing operations
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard end mill toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill toolholders. Optimized for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials. Part of the SGS Series 43CR corner radius end mill line.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer is in a safe state before installing or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before committing to a production cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and compromises corner radius tolerance.
