Guhring 9031560031700 Square End Mill 1/8 Inch 4 Flute

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031560031700 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. Part of the GUHRING Series 3156, this single-end mill features a 1/8 inch cutting diameter, a 1/2 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length. The FIREX coating provides enhanced wear resistance and heat protection, extending tool life across extended cutting cycles. With 4 spiral flutes, a 30-degree helix angle, and centercutting capability, this end mill handles slotting, profiling, and plunge operations. It is sized for precision work on CNC mills, manual mills, and machining centers in job shops and production environments.

This end mill is engineered for cutting cast iron, stainless steel, and steel, covering material codes K, M, and P. It also supports secondary workpiece materials in the N and S categories. The straight-cylindrical 1/8 inch shank fits standard collets and toolholders used in light-duty and precision machining setups. The long-length configuration makes it suitable for reaching into pockets and slots where standard-length tooling cannot reach.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and hard materials
• FIREX coating for elevated temperature resistance and extended tool life
• 4 spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for conventional CNC and manual mill use
• Mill diameter tolerance h10 and shank diameter tolerance h6 for consistent fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard cutting tool for CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual mills using 1/8 inch collets or toolholders. Primary workpiece compatibility includes cast iron, stainless steel, and steel; secondary compatibility includes non-ferrous and superalloy material categories.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder before beginning setup. Verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting to protect both the tool and workpiece. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed for the selected workpiece material and tool diameter.
