Sgs 36458 Corner Radius End Mill 3/8 Inch 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 36458 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It features a 3/8-inch mill diameter, a 0.02-inch corner radius, and four helical flutes with variable helix and variable index geometry. The TiN coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance during both roughing and finishing operations. With a standard 3/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank and extended reach, this tool fits securely in standard end mill holders and delivers consistent cutting performance across a range of demanding workpiece materials.

This end mill is suited for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and hard materials in production and job shop environments. The extended reach of 2-3/8 inches allows access to deeper features and pockets where standard-reach tools fall short. The single-end, right-hand cutting configuration with right-hand flute direction is appropriate for CNC machining centers and manual mills running conventional or climb milling strategies. A licensed machinist or CNC operator typically installs and qualifies this tool.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and hard materials
• Variable helix and variable index geometry reduces harmonic vibration during cutting
• 0.02-inch corner radius protects the cutting edge and improves surface finish at part corners
• TiN coating extends tool life in steel and stainless steel applications
• Extended reach of 2-3/8 inches enables machining of deep pockets and features
• Compatible with standard end mill holders via 3/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders accepting a 3/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium; secondary workpiece material is hard material. Part of the SGS ZPCR series.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and tooling manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for the specific workpiece material before beginning a cut.
