Guhring 9031810127000 Square End Mill 1/2 in 6 Flute

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031810127000 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance material removal in demanding machining applications. Built to Series 3181 standards, it features a 0.5-inch cutting diameter, a 2-inch length of cut, and a 45-degree helix angle that promotes aggressive chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The 6-flute geometry maximizes feed rates and surface finish quality in harder workpiece materials. A FIREX finish provides enhanced heat and wear resistance, extending tool life in abrasive or high-temperature cuts. This is a single-end, centercutting tool with a straight cylindrical shank and right-hand cut and flute orientation.

This end mill is suited for milling operations in ferrous metals, cast iron, stainless and heat-resistant alloys, and hard materials. It is classified for use with primary workpiece material codes K, M, P, and S, with secondary capability in hard materials (H) and non-ferrous (N). Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and pocketing on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where a long-length tool is required. The 4.5-inch overall length provides extended reach where standard-length tools cannot access the workpiece geometry.

Key Features

• 6-flute solid carbide construction for high feed rates and superior finish in hard materials
• 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• FIREX coating provides thermal and wear resistance for extended tool life
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Long-length series (4.5-inch OAL) with 2-inch length of cut for extended reach applications
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute with straight cylindrical shank for standard collet or end mill holder mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with workpiece material codes K (cast iron), M (stainless steel), P (steel), S (heat-resistant alloys), H (hard materials), and N (non-ferrous) as designated by the supplier specification. Fits standard 1/2-inch collets and end mill holders with h6-tolerance shank fit. Part of the GUHRING Series 3181 long-length end mill family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the shank fully into a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware per the machine and holder manufacturer guidelines. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating cuts, particularly given the extended reach of this long-length series tool.
