Sgs 36410 Square End Mill 7/32 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 36410 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. It features a 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch) cutting diameter, a 7/16 inch length of cut, and a 1/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The four-flute spiral geometry runs in a right-hand cut with right-hand flute orientation. A variable helix and variable index design reduce harmonics and chatter during aggressive cuts. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments.

The SGS 36410 is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar hard materials. Its micrograin carbide substrate and AlTiN finish make it well matched to dry or minimal-lubrication cutting strategies. The regular-length body and 2-1/2 inch overall length keep deflection low in typical vertical machining center and manual mill setups. This tool is part of the SGS Series Z1 line, engineered for high-performance cutting in production environments where tool life and repeatability matter.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• AlTiN finish provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials
• Variable helix and variable index geometry reduce chatter and vibration
• Four spiral flutes with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction
• 30-degree helix angle optimized for chip evacuation in steel and stainless
• Straight-cylindrical shank with tight diameter tolerance of +0.00000 / -0.00035 inches for secure collet grip

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank end mill compatible with 1/4 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and similar milling equipment. Part of the SGS Series Z1 product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and torque the retention nut to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts, as excessive runout will accelerate edge wear and reduce surface finish quality.
