Sgs 36117 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Tin Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 36117 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication, toolroom, and production machining environments. It features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut (LOC), and a 0.06 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentrations at the cutting edge and extends tool life in demanding applications. The TiN coating provides increased surface hardness and wear resistance. With 4 flutes and a 30-degree helix angle, this end mill is optimized for right-hand cutting with efficient chip evacuation. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling professionals.

The SGS 36117 is suited for a wide range of milling applications including contouring, profiling, and slot milling where a radiused corner is required to reduce part stress or match a design specification. The regular-length body and 1/2 inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard ER and end mill holders on vertical machining centers and CNC mills. Its centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, broadening its use in pocketing and ramp-entry operations across steel, stainless, and similar workpiece materials.

Key Features

• 0.06 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and workpiece stress concentrations
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and extends wear life in ferrous materials
• 4-flute, right-hand spiral geometry for efficient chip removal and surface finish
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces across a range of feed rates
• Centercutting design enables plunge milling and ramp entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability at elevated cutting speeds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling selection for standard 1/2 inch end mill holders, ER32 collet chucks, and similar workholding used on vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the tool changer or spindle locked before inserting or removing the end mill from its holder. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before committing to a production cut. Follow shop-standard torque procedures for the collet nut or set-screw holder being used.
