Sgs 37026 Corner Radius End Mill 0.5 in 5 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 37026 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling operations where edge chipping and workpiece corner damage must be minimized. The 0.03-inch corner radius distributes cutting loads away from the tool tip, extending tool life and improving surface finish on hardened and difficult-to-machine materials. This end mill features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter, 5-flute geometry, a 0.625-inch length of cut, and a TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating that increases surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting. The variable-pitch flute spacing helps dampen harmonic vibration, making this tool well suited for high-feed or high-speed milling applications. It is installed and operated by machinists and tooling professionals in production and job-shop environments.

The SGS 37026 belongs to the Series Z5CR product family and is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a right-hand cutting, right-hand spiral end mill. The 0.5-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and hydraulic toolholders of the same bore size. The regular-length configuration suits general-purpose side milling, slotting, and profiling tasks in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The TiN coating makes this tool particularly effective in applications involving alloy steels, cast iron, and stainless steel where uncoated carbide would wear prematurely.

Key Features

• 0.03-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life
• 5-flute variable-pitch design reduces chatter and supports higher feed rates
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and lowers cutting friction
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and heat resistance superior to HSS tooling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral geometry for standard CNC and manual mill setups
• 0.5-inch shank diameter fits common collet and end mill holder systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide corner radius end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 0.5-inch shank diameter toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool drive is locked out before changing tooling. The shank should be inserted to the full recommended grip depth in the collet or holder — avoid minimal engagement that can cause runout or tool pull-out under load. Inspect the collet bore and shank for burrs or contamination before seating the tool, as debris will increase runout and reduce tool life.
