It features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter, a 1.25-inch length of cut, and a 0.5-inch straight-cylindrical shank. The AlTiN coating delivers excellent heat and wear resistance, extending tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The variable helix and variable index geometry reduce harmonic chatter during heavy material removal, improving surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Micrograin carbide construction supports the tight tolerances required in precision machining environments. This is a Series Z1 tool intended for use by machinists and toolroom professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 36597 is suited for milling steel, cast iron, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, and titanium, corresponding to material groups H, K, M, P, and S. Its centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole, making it practical for slot milling, profiling, and pocketing operations. The spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, which is especially important in deeper cuts or when working with gummy or stringy materials. This tool is appropriate for use on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills with sufficient spindle speed and rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix and variable index geometry reduces chatter and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN finish provides heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and exotic alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge milling without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction maintains edge integrity under high feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration for standard CNC and manual mill setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation during slotting and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 36597 is rated for workpiece material groups H, K, M, P, and S, covering hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, titanium, and high-temperature alloys.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware to the tool holder specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and can cause premature tool failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.00000 \/ -0.00043 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Groups\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Z1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 36597\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728764109106,"sku":"36597","price":152.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a6051543e5955151bddd9217227528bb.jpg?v=1788695984","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sgs-36597-square-end-mill-0-5in-4-flute-solid-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
