Sgs 35701 Corner Radius End Mill 0.5in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 35701 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. It features a 0.5 inch diameter with a 0.015 inch corner radius, a 1.625 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length. The three-flute, right-hand helical design operates at a high helix angle with a coarse pitch, making it well suited for roughing operations. A TiB2 (Ti-NAMITE-B) coating provides surface hardness and lubricity appropriate for aluminum and other non-ferrous workpieces. The straight-cylindrical 0.5 inch shank is sized for standard end mill holders.

This end mill is intended for CNC machining centers and manual mills where non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass are the primary workpiece material. The Series 43CR long-length geometry suits applications requiring deeper reach into pockets, slots, or contoured surfaces. The corner radius geometry reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge, extending tool life in roughing passes compared to a sharp-corner end mill. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production or job-shop environments are the typical end users.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous cutting
• TiB2 (Ti-NAMITE-B) coating optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous metals
• 0.015 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress concentration during roughing
• Three-flute, high-helix helical geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Long-length Series 43CR design provides extended reach for deep pocket and slot work
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction with straight-cylindrical shank for standard end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders accepting a 0.5 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material is non-ferrous metal (material code N), including aluminum and similar alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Secure the shank fully into a clean, properly sized end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the holder manufacturer specifications. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges and coating condition before each use; a damaged TiB2 coating or chipped corner radius warrants replacement before continuing production.
