Sgs 34822 Square End Mill 3/16 Inch 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34822 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of non-ferrous metals and similar materials. It features a 3/16-inch cutting diameter, a 5/16-inch length of cut, and a 2-1/2-inch overall length. The three-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The straight cylindrical shank measures 3/16 inch in diameter with an h6 tolerance class. This tool is used by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments where tight tolerances and clean finishes on soft metals are required.

The SGS 34822 is suited for milling operations on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper. Its centercutting design allows plunge cutting in addition to peripheral and slot milling. The regular-length profile fits standard tool holders and collets commonly found on vertical machining centers and CNC mills. It is part of SGS Series 43, a line built around uncoated solid carbide geometry optimized for non-ferrous and soft material applications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling
• Three-flute spiral design with 38-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting capability allows plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle operation
• Straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for accurate tool holder fit
• Mill diameter tolerance of +0.00000 to -0.00032 inches ensures close dimensional control

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/16-inch straight shank. Primary workpiece material code N indicates suitability for non-ferrous metals. Part of SGS Series 43.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed by a machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or tool holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, as carbide tools are sensitive to excessive runout and can chip at the cutting edge.
