Sgs 38501 Roughing End Mill 3/16 in 5 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 38501 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide and finished with an AlTiN coating, this tool handles high-heat cutting environments while maintaining edge integrity. The 5-flute, variable-pitch design with a 37-degree medium helix reduces chatter and vibration during heavy cuts. The 3/16 inch diameter and 5/16 inch length of cut make it well suited for slotting, profiling, and roughing passes in tight-tolerance work. Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting direction are standard. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in job shop and production environments.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where chip evacuation and surface finish consistency during roughing operations are priorities. The AlTiN coating improves performance in ferrous and high-hardness materials. The straight-cylindrical shank with h6 shank diameter tolerance seats securely in standard collets and end mill holders. The regular length type suits conventional reach applications without the deflection risk of extended-reach tooling.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for high-heat and abrasion-resistant cutting
• 5-flute variable-pitch geometry reduces harmonic chatter
• 37-degree medium helix angle for efficient chip flow
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral, single-end configuration
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for accurate tool holding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 3/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank end mill in standard collet or end mill holder systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the drawbar or clamping nut per the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
