Guhring 9031130047600 Square End Mill 3/16 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031130047600 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. Built on GUHRING Series 3113, this single-end tool features a 3/16 inch cutting diameter, a 3/8 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length. The variable helix geometry, with flute angles of 35 and 38 degrees, reduces harmonic chatter during cuts and improves surface finish. A FIREX coating provides enhanced heat and wear resistance, extending tool life when working in abrasive or high-temperature cutting environments. Four spiral flutes with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make this a standard configuration recognized by machinists across general and production shop settings.

This end mill is suited for milling operations in cast iron and steel as primary workpiece materials, with secondary capability in stainless steel and hard materials. The stub length profile and straight-cylindrical shank make it a practical choice for tight-clearance setups where rigidity and runout control matter. Centercutting capability allows plunge milling in addition to peripheral and slot milling. Typical applications include slot milling, profile contouring, and pocket milling on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Key Features

• Variable helix flute design at 35 and 38 degrees reduces chatter and improves cut stability
• FIREX coating enhances wear resistance and thermal protection for extended tool life
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Solid carbide construction provides stiffness and hardness for ferrous and hard-material applications
• Stub length profile improves rigidity in short-reach setups
• Mill diameter tolerance h10 and shank diameter tolerance h6 ensure precise fitment in standard tool holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with cast iron and steel as primary workpiece materials, and stainless steel and hard materials as secondary workpiece materials. The 3/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling accepting that shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Secure the shank fully within the tool holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening to prevent pullout under cutting loads. Verify spindle runout with a dial indicator before first use. Coolant-through is not supported on this tool, so ensure adequate external coolant or air blast is directed at the cutting zone when machining at elevated feeds and speeds.
