Guhring 9031830127000 Square End Mill 0.5in 6 Flute Firex Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9031830127000 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance material removal in demanding cutting applications. Built to Series 3183 specifications, it features a 0.5 inch diameter, a 6-flute configuration, and a 55-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. The FIREX coating provides thermal and wear resistance, making this tool well-suited for cutting hard materials and cast iron. It is a single-end, center-cutting design with a straight-cylindrical shank. This end mill is typically installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling professionals working in precision metalworking environments.

This end mill is rated for primary use in hard materials (ISO code H) and secondary use in cast iron (ISO code K), making it a practical choice for mold and die work, hardened steel finishing, and similar high-demand operations. The long-series geometry, with a 1 inch length of cut and 4.5 inch overall length, provides extended reach where standard-length tools fall short. The right-hand flute and right-hand cut orientation are standard for conventional CNC milling setups.

Key Features

• FIREX coating for high wear and heat resistance in hard material cutting
• 55-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced tool deflection
• 6-flute design increases feed rate potential and surface finish quality
• Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry
• Long-series length with 2.75 inch reach for extended-reach applications
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and dimensional stability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide end mill for use in standard 0.5 inch straight-cylindrical tool holders and collet chucks compatible with GUHRING Series 3183 tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or tool holder and torque the retention hardware to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut, particularly given the long-series geometry.
