Sgs 36704 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 36704 is a solid carbide, single-end corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in demanding machining applications. It carries a 0.5 inch mill diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 0.01 inch corner radius, making it suited for finishing and roughing passes where edge integrity is critical. The variable helix geometry reduces chatter and harmonic vibration, improving surface finish and tool life across a range of cutting conditions. At 3 inches overall length with a 0.5 inch Weldon flat shank, this end mill seats securely in standard end mill holders. It is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with precision CNC machining centers.

This end mill is built for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Its micrograin solid carbide construction and variable helix design make it effective in both roughing and finishing operations where tool deflection and heat generation must be controlled. The centercutting-capable geometry and right-hand flute direction suit vertical and horizontal milling setups. The Series ZPCR designation identifies it as part of the SGS Z-Carb-AP product family, engineered for aggressive material removal with tight dimensional control.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch mill diameter with 0.01 inch corner radius for controlled edge blending
• Variable helix and variable index geometry reduces chatter and improves chip evacuation
• 4 right-hand helical flutes rated for roughing and finishing in a single tool
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance in hard and exotic materials
• Weldon flat shank for positive retention in end mill holders
• TiN coating enhances surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders. Suitable for CNC milling applications involving steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials as identified by material codes P, M, K, S, and H.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer torque and retention guidelines for Weldon flat shank tooling. Confirm the end mill holder bore matches the 0.5 inch shank diameter before seating. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to confirm proper seating and minimize tool deflection during the cut.
