Sgs 48545 Square End Mill 2 Mm 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 48545 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for precision milling in demanding machining environments. With a 2 mm cutting diameter and 6.3 mm length of cut, it delivers accurate material removal in tight-tolerance applications. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and surface finish quality. An AlTiN coating increases surface hardness and thermal resistance, extending tool life during high-speed and dry cutting operations. The micrograin carbide substrate provides edge stability across a range of workpiece materials. This end mill is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC milling operations.

The SGS 48545 is suited for milling ferrous and non-ferrous metals including materials classified under ISO groups H, K, M, N, P, and S. Typical applications include slot milling, shoulder milling, and profiling in CNC machining centers. The regular-length designation and straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard collet and end mill holders used in vertical and horizontal machining setups. The single-end, center-cutting design allows both plunge entry and peripheral cutting passes.

Key Features

• 2 mm cutting diameter with plus 0.000 / minus 0.050 mm diameter tolerance for precision fitment
• 4-flute right-hand spiral flute geometry with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow
• AlTiN coating for elevated thermal resistance and extended tool life in high-speed cutting
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for edge rigidity and wear resistance
• Center-cutting capable, supporting both plunge and peripheral milling passes
• Straight-cylindrical shank with plus 0.000 / minus 0.006 mm shank tolerance for secure clamping

Compatibility

Compatible with ISO workpiece material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S. Fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3 mm straight-cylindrical shank. Belongs to SGS Series 1M regular-length end mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool runout and clamping torque. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from its holder. Verify collet condition and cleanliness before seating the shank to maintain concentricity. Follow established shop practices and applicable OSHA machining safety standards during setup and operation.
