Sgs 36605 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 36605 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding material applications. It features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 0.015 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life. The 4-flute, variable helix geometry improves chip evacuation and reduces chatter during both roughing and finishing passes. A TiN coating adds surface hardness and heat resistance. Overall length is 3-1/4 inches with a 1/2 inch Weldon flat shank. This tool is used by machinists and CNC operators working with ferrous metals, stainless alloys, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium.

The SGS 36605 is built for shops running steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium as primary workpiece materials, with a secondary rating for hard materials. The single-end, centercutting design handles both peripheral and plunge milling. It fits standard end mill holders with a 1/2 inch bore and Weldon flat clamping. The variable helix and variable index construction make it well suited for applications where vibration dampening and surface finish consistency are priorities across a range of depths and feed rates.

Key Features

• 0.015 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress at the cutter tip
• Variable helix and variable index geometry minimize chatter and improve surface finish
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and thermal resistance for extended tool life
• Solid micrograin carbide construction supports rigidity in tough alloy and hardened material cuts
• Weldon flat shank provides positive clamping in standard end mill holders
• Rated for roughing and finishing operations in a single tool

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders accepting a 1/2 inch Weldon flat shank. Rated for primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium, and secondary workpiece materials classified as hard material. Part of the SGS ZPCR series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Secure the Weldon flat shank in a properly sized end mill holder and torque the set screw according to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify spindle runout before cutting and confirm the machine is at a full stop before changing or inspecting the tool. Follow all shop safety protocols and machine guarding requirements during setup and operation.
