Sgs 48808 Square End Mill 0.2362 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 48808 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a broad range of workpiece materials. Measuring 0.2362 inches in diameter with a 0.748 inch length of cut, this three-flute tool features a spiral flute geometry with a 30-degree helix angle and an AlTiN coating for extended tool life under high-heat cutting conditions. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and edge retention in demanding applications. It is centercutting, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece. Installation and use are handled by machinists and CNC operators in production and job shop environments.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and plunge milling in materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, high-temp alloys, and composite materials, consistent with its primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The regular-length, straight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER collets and end mill holders. With an overall length of 50 millimeters and a 6 millimeter shank diameter, the 48808 fits compact toolholding setups where rigidity and minimal overhang are priorities.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and tool life in ferrous and high-temp alloy cutting
• 3-flute spiral geometry balances chip evacuation with cutting edge strength
• 30-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and promotes smooth surface finish
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for edge stability in interrupted and continuous cuts
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills using straight-cylindrical shank toolholders with 6 millimeter bore capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using standard ER collets or end mill holders rated for the 6 millimeter shank diameter. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before loading or removing the tool. Confirm runout with a dial indicator after seating to prevent premature edge wear. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut for the specific workpiece material.
