With a 0.5 inch mill diameter, 1 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length, this tool is built for precision work in difficult materials. The variable helix and variable index geometry reduces harmonic vibration and chatter, resulting in a smoother surface finish and extended tool life. The AlTiN coating provides high heat resistance and hardness, making it well suited for dry or semi-dry cutting at elevated speeds. Micrograin carbide substrate adds toughness and wear resistance across demanding applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators typically deploy this tool in production and job shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 36543 is suited for finishing passes on materials classified under workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S, which correspond to hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature superalloys. The 4-flute, single-end design with right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flutes makes it a standard choice for CNC vertical machining centers and milling applications where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are critical. The regular length designation and 0.5 inch shank diameter provide secure toolholder engagement without extended reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix and variable index geometry reduces chatter and improves surface finish during finishing cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating delivers high-temperature resistance and extended tool life in abrasive and hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate provides superior hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute, right-hand cut and spiral configuration optimized for finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches ensures dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShank diameter tolerance of +0.00000 to -0.00043 inches for precise toolholder fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature superalloys.

Ensure the toolholder is clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the shank to the specified depth. Machine spindle must be fully stopped and the control placed in an e-stop or lock-out state before changing tooling. Confirm runout with a dial indicator after seating and prior to the first cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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\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\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 to -0.002 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\u003ePrimary 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: 0.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 36543\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738524188978,"sku":"36543","price":178.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e5f513f10a49f75f93aa052126aac10f_5209f497-c796-49b2-a341-1bfd51392601.jpg?v=1788800600","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sgs-36543-ball-end-mill-0-5-in-4-flute-solid-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
