Guhring 9031740047600 Square End Mill 3/16 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031740047600 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.188-inch mill diameter, 2-flute geometry, and a 45-degree helix angle, this end mill delivers efficient chip evacuation and clean edge finishes in non-ferrous and general-purpose materials. The bright uncoated finish suits baseline milling tasks where coating is not required. At 2 inches overall length with a 0.5625-inch length of cut, it fits standard CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/16-inch straight cylindrical shank. Installation and operation are handled by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shop, tool room, and production environments.

This end mill is suited for light to medium material removal on non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar machinable materials. Its centercutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece, enabling slotting, profiling, and pocket milling in a single tool. The Series 3174 designation identifies it as a standard-length, straight-shank tool within the GUHRING solid carbide end mill lineup. Typical applications include contour milling, full-slot milling, and side milling passes at small diameters where rigidity and edge retention are critical.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and edge retention at small diameters
• 45-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute for standard CNC and manual mill setups
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and general-purpose machining
• Straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for consistent tool holding grip

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill compatible with standard 3/16-inch collets, end mill holders, and hydraulic chucks used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting straight cylindrical shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify the collet or tool holder is clean and undamaged before seating the shank to the recommended engagement depth. Follow the machine manufacturer and tool manufacturer feed and speed guidelines for the workpiece material being cut to avoid premature tool wear or breakage.
