Sgs 48506 Square End Mill 0.1575 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 48506 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in metalworking and machining operations. It features a 0.1575-inch cutting diameter, a 0.5512-inch length of cut, and a 4-flute spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle. The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating improves surface hardness and extends tool life across demanding cutting cycles. Constructed from micrograin solid carbide, this end mill delivers rigidity and wear resistance suited for close-tolerance milling work. It is center-cutting and configured for right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction, making it compatible with standard CNC and manual milling setups.

This end mill is part of the SGS Series 1M lineup, intended for regular-length milling applications across a broad range of workpiece materials. Primary workpiece material codes include H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering tool steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, structural steels, and high-temperature alloys. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1575 inches in diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.000 / -0.008 mm, making it suitable for precision collet holders on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Key Features

• 0.1575-inch cutting diameter with micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• 4-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating for increased surface hardness and extended tool life
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling spindle compatibility
• Straight cylindrical shank with tight diameter tolerance for secure collet fitment

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard collet tool holders accepting a 0.1575-inch straight cylindrical shank on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. Rated for workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as specified by SGS for the Series 1M product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet and torque the tool holder to the collet manufacturer's specified value. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cutting cycle to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
