Sgs 35580 Corner Radius End Mill 1/4 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 35580 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. Built to Series 43CR specifications, it features a 1/4 inch diameter cutting head with a 0.06 inch corner radius and three helical flutes configured for right-hand cutting. The 3/4 inch length of cut and 2.5 inch overall length make it well suited for standard-depth slotting and profiling operations. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for aluminum, brass, copper, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. A straight-cylindrical 1/4 inch shank fits standard end mill holders used on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is intended for roughing operations on non-ferrous metals in shop and production machining environments. The coarse pitch, high helix flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, which is critical when cutting aluminum and other gummy non-ferrous alloys. Single-end configuration and centercutting capability allow both plunge and peripheral cutting paths. It is compatible with standard end mill holders and collet-style toolholding systems used on vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and tool life in non-ferrous applications
• 0.06 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and improves surface finish at part corners
• Three helical flutes with coarse pitch for aggressive chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation
• Bright, uncoated finish optimized for non-ferrous workpiece materials
• Straight-cylindrical 1/4 inch shank fits standard end mill holders and collet chucks

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders and collet-style toolholding systems. Primary workpiece material classification is non-ferrous metal (material code N), including aluminum, brass, and copper alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the holder. Verify shank runout and holder cleanliness before tightening to reduce tool deflection. Follow the machine manufacturer and toolholder torque guidelines when securing the set screw or collet nut.
