Sgs 35309 Square End Mill 3/8 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide Ticn

Product Description

The SGS 35309 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in non-ferrous metal applications. It features a 3/8 inch cutting diameter, a 7/8 inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The TiCN coating increases surface hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in high-cycle production environments. With two flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, this end mill suits finish and semifinish passes where surface quality matters. It is a single-end tool built on a micrograin carbide substrate for consistent edge integrity.

This end mill is intended for milling non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials. The 3/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders used on vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills. The regular-length geometry and 2-1/2 inch overall length make it well suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in confined workpiece features. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this geometry when chip load control and dimensional accuracy are the primary concerns.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for consistent edge sharpness and rigidity
• TiCN coating for enhanced wear resistance and reduced built-up edge on non-ferrous materials
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flutes promote positive chip flow and reduce cutting forces
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Tight mill diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.002 inches supports accurate slot and pocket sizing
• Straight-cylindrical shank with tight tolerance (+0.00000 / -0.00035 inches) for secure tool holding

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8 inch collet chucks, ER collet systems, and end mill holders on CNC and manual milling machines. Intended for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials as designated by material code N.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer torque and runout specifications for the tool holder in use. Verify spindle and collet runout before seating the tool, and ensure the shank is fully engaged in the holder to the recommended minimum grip depth. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before each use. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during all setup and operation.
