Sgs 35605 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 35605 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in non-ferrous metals. It features a 1/2 inch diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 0.030 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life compared to sharp-corner geometries. The 3-flute, single-end configuration with a 38-degree high helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. At 3 inches overall length with a 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank, this tool fits standard end mill toolholders and is used by machinists in CNC milling centers and manual mills on production and job-shop floors.

This end mill is suited for roughing material removal in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. The coarse pitch and high helix geometry make it effective in applications where chip load and chip clearance are priorities. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for non-ferrous workpiece materials where coating adhesion or heat buildup are not primary concerns. It installs in standard end mill toolholders with a straight-cylindrical shank interface and is intended for right-hand cutting with right-hand flute direction.

Key Features

• 0.030 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress concentration during milling passes
• 3-flute solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• 38-degree high helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Bright, uncoated finish optimized for non-ferrous metals including aluminum and copper alloys
• Coarse pitch geometry supports roughing material removal rates
• Single-end design with 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard end mill toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill toolholders accepting a 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material application is non-ferrous metal (material code N) per SGS Series 43CR specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or in an e-stop state before changing tooling. Secure the shank to the minimum recommended engagement depth in the toolholder and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Do not use this tool on ferrous materials, as it is rated for non-ferrous metal applications only.
