Guhring 9035400160000 Square End Mill 5/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GUHRING 9035400160000 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding industrial and job-shop environments. Part of the Series 3540, this stub-length end mill features a 5/8 inch (16.00 mm) cutting diameter, a 5/8 inch length of cut, and three spiral flutes ground with a 45-degree helix angle. The FIREX coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability, making this tool well-suited for aggressive material removal. Weighing 0.75 pounds, it is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

This end mill is intended for use on ferrous and high-alloy workpiece materials, including cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon and alloy steels (ISO material codes K, M, and P). Secondary compatibility extends to non-ferrous metals and superalloys (ISO codes N and S). The stub-length configuration provides rigidity in tight setups and short-reach applications where deflection control is critical. Centercutting geometry allows both peripheral and plunge milling operations without a pre-drilled entry point.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with proprietary material grade for high hardness and wear life
• FIREX coating for improved thermal resistance and reduced tool wear at elevated cutting speeds
• 45-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Three-flute design balances chip clearance and rigidity for medium-to-heavy slotting and profiling
• Centercutting geometry supports direct plunge entry without pilot drilling
• Stub-length body minimizes overhang and maximizes stiffness in short-reach setups

Compatibility

Designed for use on cast iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel workpieces (ISO codes K, M, and P), with secondary suitability for non-ferrous metals and superalloys (ISO codes N and S). Straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance fits standard ER collet chucks, hydraulic chucks, and shrink-fit holders accepting a 16.00 mm (0.6299 inch) shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the spindle fully stopped and machine power locked out per shop safety procedures. Confirm collet or chuck bore size matches the 16.00 mm shank diameter before clamping; verify runout with a dial indicator after seating. Do not exceed the manufacturer-recommended cutting parameters for the specific workpiece material and machine spindle power. Inspect the cutting edges and FIREX coating condition before each use and remove the tool from service at the first sign of edge wear or chipping.
