Sgs 38209 Corner Radius End Mill 3/16 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 38209 is a solid micrograin carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. It features a 3/16 inch diameter with a 0.015 inch corner radius, two right-hand helical flutes, and a 5/8 inch length of cut. The bright uncoated finish suits applications where coating is not required or where base carbide performance is preferred. With a 2 inch overall length and a straight cylindrical 3/16 inch shank, this single-end tool is intended for use in standard end mill holders on CNC mills and manual knee mills.

This end mill is suited for roughing operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium, as well as secondary use on hard materials. The coarse pitch and medium helix geometry support chip evacuation during aggressive cuts. It is a long-length configuration, providing additional reach for deeper pockets or stepped features. Machinists running production work or job-shop operations across a range of workpiece materials will find this a practical general-purpose roughing tool.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch mill diameter with 0.015 inch corner radius for edge strength and reduced chipping
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for wear resistance at elevated cutting speeds
• 2 right-hand helical flutes with coarse pitch for efficient chip clearance in roughing cuts
• 5/8 inch length of cut and 2 inch overall length in a long-reach configuration
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials including superalloys and titanium
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard end mill holders without special adapters

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders. Rated for primary use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys and titanium, with secondary capability on hard materials. Conforms to Series 03C geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a compatible end mill holder to the recommended retention torque per the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, particularly for corner radius tools where geometry tolerance is critical to finish quality.
