Sumitomo 2900W7G Indexable Square-shoulder End Mill

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 2900W7G is an indexable square-shoulder end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built on the WEZ series platform, this tool features a 1-inch cutting diameter and a maximum depth of cut of 0.591 inches, making it well-suited for shoulder milling, face milling, and slotting tasks. The body is constructed from steel and uses a Weldon shank with a 1-inch shank diameter and a shank length of 2.281 inches. Coolant-through capability supports chip evacuation and extends insert life during demanding cuts. The holder is right-hand orientation and accepts two indexable inserts per setup.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where repeatable square-shoulder profiles are required. The WEZ series design targets ferrous and non-ferrous material removal in industrial and production shop environments. With an overall length of 3.947 inches, the 2900W7G fits standard tooling setups without excessive overhang. It is typically installed and changed by machinists or tooling technicians in manufacturing, job shop, and maintenance machining settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing or indexing inserts. Use the appropriate Torx or hex key for insert clamping hardware per the insert manufacturer's guidelines. Confirm shank seating and set screw engagement in the Weldon flat before resuming cutting operations.
