Sgs 38263 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 38263 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. It features a 1/2 inch mill diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 0.03 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentrations at the cutting edge and extends tool life in high-load passes. The 2-flute, right-hand helical geometry supports efficient chip evacuation. With a 3 inch overall length and a 1/2 inch Weldon flat shank, this tool seats securely in standard end mill holders. It is part of the SGS Series 3CR and is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Its coarse pitch and medium helix are optimized for roughing operations where aggressive stock removal is the priority. The single-end, uncoated, micrograin carbide construction makes it a reliable choice for short-run and production environments where consistent dimensional results are required. It fits standard end mill holders and is compatible with both vertical and horizontal milling setups.

Key Features

• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress at the cutting corner
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in tough materials
• 2-flute, right-hand helical geometry promotes chip clearance during roughing passes
• Weldon flat shank provides positive anti-pullout engagement in end mill holders
• Uncoated bright finish suitable for use across steel, cast iron, non-ferrous, and superalloy workpieces
• Single-end design; Series 3CR short-length profile for stability at depth

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders. Suitable for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials as noted in the SGS Series 3CR product family specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the Weldon flat shank firmly in the end mill holder and verify runout before beginning a cut. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for feed rate, speed, and depth of cut when setting up roughing operations with carbide tooling.
