Sgs 36560 Corner Radius End Mill 3/4 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 36560 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance metal removal and finishing in demanding machining environments. With a 3/4-inch cutting diameter, 1.625-inch length of cut, and a 4-inch overall length, this tool is built for shops running tight-tolerance work on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The AlTiN coating — marketed under SGS's Ti-NAMITE-A designation — provides thermal resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds. A variable helix geometry reduces harmonic vibration and chatter, making it effective for both roughing and finishing passes in a single setup. A Weldon flat shank ensures secure retention in end mill holders.

The SGS 36560 is suited for vertical and horizontal machining centers running ferrous and hard materials in production and job-shop environments. The corner radius geometry — 0.0400 inches nominal with a tolerance of -0.0020 to 0.0000 inches — adds edge strength at the cutting corners, reducing chipping during aggressive passes. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle configurations. The short-length profile improves rigidity in setups where deflection is a concern. This tool targets machinists and CNC operators working in aerospace, die-mold, and general metalworking applications.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide substrate for superior hardness and wear resistance
• AlTiN (Ti-NAMITE-A) coating rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials
• Variable helix design reduces chatter and vibration during cutting
• Corner radius geometry (0.0400 inches) strengthens cutting edges and extends tool life
• Weldon flat shank for secure, positive engagement in end mill holders
• Capable of roughing and finishing in a single tool — Series ZH1C Z-Carb-HTA

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders. Compatible with primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium; secondary compatibility extends to hard materials. Shank diameter tolerance is h6 for reliable holder fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Secure the Weldon flat shank in an appropriate end mill holder and torque the set screw according to the holder manufacturer's specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before tool changes. Verify runout after installation before beginning a cut, particularly when working with tight-diameter tolerances on finished surfaces.
