Guhring 9030860047600 Square End Mill 3/16 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9030860047600 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metalworking environments. Part of the GUHRING Series 3086, it features a 3/16 inch diameter, a 45-degree helix angle, and a FIREX coating that improves wear resistance and heat management during aggressive cuts. With three flutes and a right-hand spiral flute configuration, it delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. The stub length design keeps the tool rigid, reducing deflection in tight setups. Licensed machinists and toolroom professionals use this end mill for profiling, slotting, and plunge operations on hard and abrasive materials.

This end mill is suited for milling cast iron, stainless steel, and steel in both CNC and manual machining setups. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders in typical machining centers and knee mills. It performs well in high-speed finishing passes and moderate-depth roughing cuts on ferrous materials. Secondary workpiece material compatibility includes non-ferrous metals and superalloys.

Key Features

• FIREX coating for extended tool life and thermal protection on ferrous materials
• 45-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip removal and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pilot drilling
• Three-flute geometry balances chip space and rigidity for ferrous alloys
• Solid carbide construction maintains edge sharpness in hard and abrasive materials
• Stub length reduces overhang and deflection in tight machining setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with cast iron, stainless steel, and steel as primary workpiece materials, with secondary compatibility for non-ferrous metals and superalloys. Fits standard straight-cylindrical collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/16 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully powered down and locked. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder to the torque specification of the toolholder manufacturer. Verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting. Confirm speeds and feeds match the workpiece material and depth of cut before engaging the spindle.
