Sgs 34830 Square End Mill 0.5 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 34830 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in milling operations. It features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length with a 0.5 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The three-flute geometry and 38-degree helix angle support efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This is a right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute tool in the SGS Series 43 line. It is uncoated and centercutting, making it suitable for plunge entry as well as peripheral milling. Machinists and tooling professionals install this type of end mill in CNC machining centers and manual mills for finish and roughing passes.

The SGS 34830 is rated primarily for non-ferrous metal applications, including aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. Its regular-length classification and solid carbide construction make it a standard choice for production environments where dimensional accuracy and tool life are priorities. The centercutting capability allows direct plunge cuts without a pre-drilled hole, adding flexibility to slotting and profiling operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous metal cutting
• Three-flute spiral geometry with a 38-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design supports plunge milling and slotting without a pilot hole
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle compatibility
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h6 diameter tolerance for consistent tool holding
• Uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous workpiece materials where coating is not required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank square end mill compatible with ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and hydraulic toolholders accepting a 0.5 inch straight shank. Intended for use on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines running non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down the spindle and engage the machine lock before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the tool holder per the holder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut to avoid premature tool wear or dimensional error.
