Sgs 36631 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 9 Flute Altin

Product Description

The SGS 36631 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance finishing in demanding metalworking applications. It features a 1/2 inch mill diameter, a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 0.09 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life. With 9 flutes in a super close pitch configuration, the 36631 delivers smooth surface finishes and excellent material removal rates in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The AlTiN (TX) coating provides heat resistance and hardness for extended performance in high-temp cutting environments. Licensed machinists and CNC tooling professionals install and run this tool in production and job shop settings.

The SGS 36631 is suited for finishing operations on ferrous metals and hard materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. The single-end, right-hand cutting geometry pairs with standard end mill toolholders. The 3 inch overall length and 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank fit common CAT, BT, HSK, and ER collet toolholder systems used in CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers. The super close pitch and spiral flute design support stable, chatter-resistant cuts at finishing parameters.

Key Features

• 9-flute super close pitch geometry for smooth surface finishes in finishing operations
• 0.09 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress concentration
• AlTiN (TX) coating for heat and wear resistance in high-temperature cutting
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute direction for standard CNC spindle use
• Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill toolholders. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. Secondary workpiece material application covers hard materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine in an estop or lockout-tagout state per facility safety procedures. Seat the 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank fully in the toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before running at full parameters. Do not use this tool for roughing passes beyond the rated application; it is configured for finishing operations.
