Sgs 36404 Square End Mill 1/8 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The SGS 36404 is a 4-flute, solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding industrial and machining applications. It features a 1/8 inch mill diameter with a 3/8 inch length of cut and a 1-1/2 inch overall length. The AlTiN coating provides heat and wear resistance for extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds. Variable helix and variable index geometry reduce harmonic vibration and chatter during cutting operations. The micrograin carbide substrate supports rigidity and edge retention across a range of workpiece materials. This tool is typically installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling professionals working in job shop, aerospace, and precision manufacturing environments.

The SGS 36404 is suited for milling operations on a broad range of material classes, including hardened steels, stainless steels, cast iron, nonferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material code classifications H, K, M, P, and S. Its regular-length profile and straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard ER and milling collet systems. This end mill operates in right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction. It is a single-end configuration and does not include a chipbreaker. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling at small-diameter scales.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for high rigidity and edge retention
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• Variable helix and variable index geometry to reduce chatter and vibration
• 4-flute spiral flute design optimized for finish and material removal balance
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, single-end configuration
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard collet toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use on workpiece material classes H, K, M, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, nonferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys. Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER collet chucks and milling toolholders sized for 1/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet. Set collet torque according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications and verify runout before beginning a cut. Do not use this tool for plunge cutting, as it is a non-centercutting end mill.
