Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with AlTiN, it delivers hardness and thermal resistance suited for dry or high-speed cutting. The 0.5 inch diameter cutting head is paired with a 1 inch length of cut and a 3 inch overall length, making it a standard-reach tool for a wide range of milling applications. Variable helix geometry and variable index reduce harmonic chatter and improve surface finish. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in precision metalworking and tool and die applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 36348 is suited for finishing passes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials including hardened steels, stainless steels, titanium alloys, cast irons, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to ISO workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S. The 4-flute spiral configuration supports efficient chip evacuation during finishing cuts. Its right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are consistent with standard CNC milling machine spindle rotation. The AlTiN coating extends tool life in abrasive and elevated-temperature cutting conditions without requiring coolant through the tool body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating provides thermal protection and extended tool life in abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix and variable index geometry reduce chatter and improve surface finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral design supports finishing-grade material removal rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end ball profile with right-hand cut for standard CNC mill compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries Z1B regular-length configuration for general-purpose finishing reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5 inch straight shank.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the 0.5 inch shank securely in a compatible collet or end mill holder and verify runout before beginning a cut. Consult the machine manufacturer and applicable shop safety standards for proper tool holding torque and RPM limits for this diameter and material combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00000 to -0.00043 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Z1B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.84 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36348\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740852060466,"sku":"36348","price":179.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e5f513f10a49f75f93aa052126aac10f_2149a836-dce3-4f98-839f-b6080780046c.jpg?v=1788827869","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sgs-36348-ball-end-mill-0-5in-4-flute-solid-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
