Sgs 37003 Roughing End Mill 1/8 in 5 Flute Solid Carbide Tin

Product Description

The SGS 37003 is a solid carbide roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built to the Z5CR series specification, it features a 1/8 inch diameter with five variable-pitch spiral flutes and a 0.015 inch corner radius that reduces chipping along the cutting edge. The TiN coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance. With a right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute geometry, this single-end tool is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills. Machinists and tooling specialists working in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance machining environments are the primary installers and operators.

The SGS 37003 is suited for applications where chip thinning and reduced cutting forces are priorities, particularly in profiling and slotting cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The non-centercutting design means it is intended for side milling and peripheral cuts rather than direct plunge entry. The 3/8 inch length of cut and 1-1/2 inch overall length make it appropriate for shallow-to-moderate depth passes in tight-clearance workholding setups common in precision part machining.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding milling applications
• Five variable-pitch flutes reduce harmonic vibration and chatter during cuts
• TiN coating extends tool life and improves lubricity at the cutting edge
• 0.015 inch corner radius protects the cutting edge and reduces stress concentration
• Right-hand spiral flute geometry with right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for consistent tool holding in collet or end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 1/8 inch collet or end mill holder setups on CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills requiring a single-end, non-centercutting roughing tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Use a properly rated collet or end mill holder that accommodates a 1/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Follow the machine manufacturer and applicable shop safety guidelines for tool runout verification before beginning a cut.
