It features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter, a 0.625-inch length of cut, and a 3-inch overall length with a 0.5-inch straight cylindrical shank. The 37-degree helix angle and AlTiN coating make this tool well-suited for elevated cutting speeds and dry or semi-dry machining applications. Variable index geometry reduces chatter and improves surface finish. This end mill is built to handle a broad range of workpiece materials and is a go-to tool for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in job shop and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 38506 belongs to the Z5S series and is engineered for use on CNC machining centers and manual mills where consistent edge integrity and thermal resistance are required. It is rated for use across multiple material groups including carbon and alloy steels, cast irons, stainless steels, titanium alloys, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material codes P, K, M, S, and H. It is a centercutting design, allowing plunge entry and full peripheral cutting in a single tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating provides heat and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing reduces harmonic vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry enables direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute, spiral flute configuration for standard CNC spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SGS 38506 is compatible with workpiece material groups P, K, M, S, and H, covering carbon steels, alloy steels, cast irons, stainless steels, titanium alloys, and high-temperature alloys.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is clamped to the appropriate h6 tolerance before beginning a cut. Confirm correct spindle direction for right-hand cut tooling before engaging the workpiece. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when handling carbide tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0016 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Z5S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.289 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38506\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KYOCERA SGS PRECISION TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51740465987890,"sku":"38506","price":161.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2d64ebeb29f4d28ec26ef0262373b000_57c47f4e-4674-45cf-9003-ebf5bbe7949f.jpg?v=1788825182","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sgs-38506-square-end-mill-0-5-in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
