Guhring 9031720127000 Square End Mill 0.5in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031720127000 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Part of the Series 3172 lineup, this single-end tool features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 45-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation during high-speed cutting. With three right-hand spiral flutes and a bright uncoated finish, this end mill is suited for shops requiring accurate dimensional control in a variety of materials. Machinists and CNC operators install this tool in standard end mill holders or collet chucks on vertical and horizontal machining centers.

This end mill is built for general-purpose milling in production and job-shop environments. The 0.5 inch shank diameter fits common toolholding systems, and the 3 inch overall length keeps deflection low during standard-depth cuts. The non-centercutting design means it is intended for peripheral and side milling rather than plunge entry. Applications include slotting, profiling, and contouring in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where tight tolerances and surface finish quality are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• 45-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Three right-hand spiral flutes for balanced material removal and finish quality
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a range of material grades without coating-related sizing concerns
• Single-end design with a 0.5 inch shank for direct fitment in standard collet or end mill holders
• Non-centercutting geometry optimized for side milling, slotting, and profiling passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in the GUHRING Series 3172, compatible with standard 0.5 inch bore end mill holders, collet chucks, and shrink-fit toolholding systems on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator familiar with proper toolholding torque and runout specifications for the machine in use. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing or setting tools. Confirm shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Do not use this non-centercutting end mill for direct plunge entry into solid material.
