Sgs 36729 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 36729 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance metal removal in demanding machining applications. It features a 0.5 inch mill diameter, a 1.25 inch length of cut, and a 0.015 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentrations at part corners and extends tool life. The variable helix and variable index geometry breaks up harmonic vibration, making this tool well suited for both roughing and finishing passes. A TiN coating adds surface hardness and wear resistance. At 3 inches overall length with a 0.5 inch straight cylindrical shank, it mounts directly into standard end mill holders used by machining professionals and toolroom technicians.

This end mill is built for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The single-end, right-hand cutting, right-hand flute configuration suits vertical machining centers and CNC mills in job shop and production environments. The short length type and 4-flute helical design support aggressive feed rates while maintaining surface finish quality. It is classified under SGS Series ZPCR and carries a micrograin carbide grade for consistent edge integrity across difficult workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Variable helix and variable index geometry minimizes chatter and harmonic vibration
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for edge sharpness and wear resistance
• TiN coating extends tool life in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and superalloy applications
• 4 helical flutes support both roughing and finishing material removal in a single tool
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, straight cylindrical shank fits standard end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Part of the SGS Series ZPCR Z-Carb-AP product line.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining professionals or toolroom technicians in CNC or manual milling setups. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping to confirm proper seating in the holder. Follow machine tool manufacturer torque specifications for collet nuts or set screws.
