Sgs 35493 Square End Mill 5/8 Inch 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 35493 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling operations in non-ferrous metals and similar materials. With a 5/8-inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4-inch length of cut, and a 3-1/2-inch overall length, this tool fits standard 5/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank toolholders found on most vertical and horizontal machining centers. The four-flute, right-hand spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. This is an uncoated, single-end tool intended for machinists and CNC operators running aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials.

The SGS 35493 fits regular-length end mill applications in job shops, production machining environments, and tool rooms. It is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in non-ferrous metals where tight tolerances and clean surface finishes are required. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with collet chucks, end mill holders, and hydraulic toolholders sized for 5/8-inch shanks. No variable helix, variable index, or chipbreaker geometry is present, making this a straightforward general-purpose end mill for consistent, repeatable cuts.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• Four right-hand spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Uncoated finish suited for aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous metals
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Mill diameter tolerance of plus 0.000 / minus 0.002 inches for consistent fit and finish

Compatibility

Designed for use in 5/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank toolholders including collet chucks, end mill holders, and hydraulic chucks. Primary workpiece material classification is non-ferrous metal (material code N). Part of the SGS Series 54 end mill line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the full recommended insertion depth in the toolholder and torque the retention screw or collet nut per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
