Guhring 9031530127000 Square End Mill 0.5in 4-flute Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031530127000 is a solid carbide square end mill from the Series 3153 line, designed for high-performance milling in demanding metalworking applications. With a 0.5-inch cutting diameter, 1-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action. The FIREX coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal protection, making it well suited for aggressive cuts in ferrous and hard materials. It is a single-end, center-cutting tool with a straight cylindrical shank and right-hand spiral flutes. Installation and use are performed by machinists and CNC tooling specialists.

This end mill is intended for use on CNC machining centers and manual mills where precision metal removal is required. Primary workpiece materials include cast iron, stainless steel, and steel, with secondary suitability for non-ferrous metals and superalloys. The regular-length geometry and 3-inch overall length make it a standard choice for pocket milling, slotting, and contouring operations in job shops and production environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• FIREX coating for elevated thermal resistance and extended tool life
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle compatibility
• Mill diameter tolerance h10 and shank diameter tolerance h6 for consistent fit in collets and toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 0.5-inch collets, shrink-fit holders, and hydraulic chucks on CNC machining centers and conventional knee mills. Primary workpiece compatibility includes cast iron, stainless steel, and steel; secondary compatibility includes non-ferrous metals and superalloys per material codes N and S.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder to the recommended gauge depth and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts, as excessive runout will accelerate tool wear and reduce surface finish quality.
