Built on the Alumigator Series 1025 platform, it features a 5\/8 inch cutting diameter, a 2-1\/2 inch length of cut, and a 37-degree helix angle optimized for efficient chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup. The three-flute geometry provides a balance between chip clearance and rigidity, making this tool well-suited for aluminum and non-ferrous materials. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for applications where coating interaction with workpiece material is a concern. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production facilities are the primary installers and users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is used in milling operations on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where aluminum, composites, or other non-ferrous materials are being profiled, slotted, or pocketed. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling setups. The single-end design delivers the full 5 inch overall length, providing extended reach capability for deeper setups without additional tooling extensions. Its center-cutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/8 inch cutting diameter with matching 5\/8 inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch length of cut supports deep profiling and slot milling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37-degree helix angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation, especially in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree right-hand flutes with upcut geometry for efficient material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubmicron carbide grade for improved wear resistance and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish, suitable for non-ferrous and aluminum applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines that accept 5\/8 inch shank tooling via collet chuck, end mill holder, or shrink-fit holder.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Seat the shank to the minimum recommended insertion depth per the holder manufacturer's specification, and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool operating guidelines when setting speeds and feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches (2.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Submicron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Upcut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1025 Alumigator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.88 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GWS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 101012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971408757042,"sku":"101012","price":322.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b629b30e7748d9e340cace532c75622f_30128eed-db89-48f1-ba0e-78d2add019dc.jpg?v=1789956988","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-101012-square-end-mill-5-8-in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
