Guhring 9031710047600 Square End Mill 3/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031710047600 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. Part of the Series 3171, it features a 3/16 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length. The FIREX coating improves wear resistance and thermal stability during high-speed cutting. With three spiral flutes and a 30-degree helix angle, it provides efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. This tool is centercutting, allowing plunge entry, and is configured for right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction. It is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in production or job shop environments.

The 9031710047600 is suited for milling cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and steel alloys, corresponding to primary workpiece material codes K, M, N, and P, with secondary suitability for high-temperature alloys (code S). Its extra-long length classification makes it appropriate for applications requiring extended reach into slots, pockets, or stepped features. The straight-cylindrical shank with a 3/16 inch diameter fits standard collet chucks and tool holders sized for that shank diameter. It is a single-end tool intended for use in vertical mills, CNC machining centers, and similar equipment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• FIREX coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance for extended tool life
• Three spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle rotation
• Extra-long length classification for reaching deeper features and pockets
• Mill diameter tolerance h10 and shank diameter tolerance h6 for precise fit

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling sized for a 3/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suitable for machining cast iron (K), stainless steel (M), non-ferrous metals (N), steel (P), and high-temperature alloys (S) per the material code classifications provided.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine powered down or in a safe lockout state. The shank should be clean and free of debris before seating in the holder, and the tool should be secured to the torque specification recommended by the toolholder manufacturer. Confirm spindle rotation direction matches the right-hand flute configuration before cutting. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines during setup.
