Sgs 35588 Corner Radius End Mill 3/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 35588 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. It features a 3/8 inch cutting diameter, a 0.06 inch corner radius, and 3 right-hand helical flutes with a high helix angle of 38 degrees. The uncoated bright finish is well suited for aluminum, copper, brass, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. At 3 inches overall length with a 1/2 inch length of cut, this short-series tool is built for rigidity in CNC machining centers and manual mills. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production and job-shop environments.

The 35588 is a single-end, centercutting corner radius end mill from SGS Series 43CR, optimized for roughing operations on non-ferrous metals. The straight cylindrical 3/8 inch shank mounts directly into standard end mill holders. The coarse pitch flute geometry and high helix promote chip evacuation in gummy non-ferrous materials. This tool is appropriate for slotting, profiling, and pocket milling where a defined corner radius is required to reduce stress concentrations at part features.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance for non-ferrous cutting
• 0.06 inch corner radius reduces corner chipping and improves part surface finish at feature edges
• 38-degree high helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in aluminum and other non-ferrous alloys
• 3-flute geometry balances feed rate capability with chip clearance for roughing passes
• Uncoated bright finish is optimized for non-ferrous materials where coatings can cause built-up edge
• Short-series length of cut at 0.5 inches maximizes tool stiffness and minimizes deflection

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders accepting a 3/8 inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material is non-ferrous metal (material code N), including aluminum, copper, brass, and similar alloys. Part of the SGS Series 43CR product family.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully into the end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before tool changes. Do not use this end mill on ferrous materials, as the uncoated solid carbide geometry and flute pitch are not optimized for steel or cast iron.
