Sgs 36208 Corner Radius End Mill 5/16 in 3 Flute Ticn Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 36208 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. It features a 5/16-inch cutting diameter, a 3/4-inch length of cut, and a 0.045-inch corner radius that reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life in profiling and contouring applications. The 3-flute geometry provides a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish quality. A TiCN coating improves hardness and wear resistance. With a 40-degree helix angle and centercutting capability, this tool supports both ramping and plunge entry. It is used by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments.

The SGS 36208 is suited for milling ferrous and non-ferrous metals including alloy steels, stainless steel, and hardened materials where corner protection is required. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard for conventional CNC vertical machining center setups. The coarse pitch and regular-length configuration make it a practical choice for general-purpose profiling, slotting, and finishing passes where a sharp, durable corner is critical to part tolerance.

Key Features

• 0.045-inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and extends tool life in profiling cuts
• TiCN coating provides enhanced hardness and wear resistance over uncoated carbide
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance with surface finish in medium-to-finish passes
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting geometry allows ramping and plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Solid carbide construction maintains rigidity and accuracy in tight-tolerance applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills using ER or straight-shank collet systems with a 5/16-inch bore. Part of the SGS Series 62 end mill family.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the 5/16-inch shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque to the tool holder specification before operation. Verify runout with a dial indicator before production cutting to maintain tolerance and prevent premature tool wear.
