Sgs 72967 Diamond Pattern Router Bit 0.5in End Mill

Product Description

The SGS 72967 is a diamond-pattern router bit designed for precision routing and end-milling operations in composite plastics and similar non-ferrous materials. Built from solid carbide with a diamond coating, this bit delivers the hardness and edge retention required for abrasive materials that would rapidly wear conventional tooling. It features a 0.5-inch cutter diameter, a 1.5-inch length of cut, and a 3.5-inch overall length. The 10-flute geometry distributes cutting load evenly, reducing heat buildup and improving surface finish quality on demanding workpieces. It is installed and operated by machinists and fabricators working with CNC routers and milling equipment.

This router bit is engineered for machining composite plastics, making it a practical choice in aerospace component fabrication, sign making, and industrial panel processing where composite laminates and reinforced plastics are common. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard CNC router spindle configurations. The 0.5-inch shank diameter and 2-inch shank length provide solid tool holding in collet-style and end-mill holders commonly found on CNC routing tables and vertical machining centers.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in abrasive materials
• Diamond coating provides extreme surface hardness suited to composite plastics
• 10-flute design distributes cutting forces and improves finish quality
• 0.5-inch cutter diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0050 inches for consistent fit and cut accuracy
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC router spindle rotation
• End mill end type allows plunge and peripheral cutting capability

Compatibility

Designed for use with composite plastics as the primary workpiece material. Compatible with collet-style and end-mill tool holders accepting a 0.5-inch shank diameter. Part of the SGS Series 31-CCR product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before inserting or removing the bit from the tool holder. Verify collet size matches the 0.5-inch shank diameter before securing. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines for runout tolerances and feed-and-speed parameters appropriate to the workpiece material.
