Sgs 35116 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 6 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 35116 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance finishing operations in demanding metalworking applications. It features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 0.09 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentrations at the tool tip and extends part life in interrupted or contoured cuts. With 6 flutes and a high-helix spiral geometry, the 35116 is built for smooth, precise finishes in tough materials. A TiN-based TX coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance. Overall length is 3 inches with a 1/2 inch straight cylindrical shank machined to h6 tolerance.

This end mill is intended for finishing passes in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium, as well as hard secondary workpiece materials. It fits standard end mill toolholders and is suited for CNC machining centers handling close-tolerance contour and pocket work. The close pitch and right-hand cutting direction make it appropriate for conventional and climb milling in production and job shop environments. Single-end configuration with variable index and no chipbreaker.

Key Features

• 0.09 inch corner radius reduces tool stress and improves surface finish on corners and fillets
• 6-flute, high-helix design optimized for finishing in ferrous and exotic alloys
• TX coating improves wear resistance and heat dissipation during aggressive cuts
• Micrograin solid carbide construction provides rigidity and edge retention
• Variable index flute spacing reduces harmonic chatter in tight-tolerance operations
• Right-hand flute direction with straight cylindrical shank in h6 tolerance for secure toolholder fit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill toolholders. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Compatible with secondary hard material applications. Part of the SGS Series 51CR T-Carb product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Confirm shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow your machine tool manufacturer and facility safety guidelines for tool change procedures and RPM limits.
