Gws 101020 Square End Mill 1 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 101020 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for high-performance milling applications requiring precise, sharp cuts and reliable chip evacuation. With a 1 inch mill diameter, a 2.5 inch length of cut, and a 3-flute geometry set at a 37-degree helix angle, this end mill delivers efficient material removal while maintaining edge integrity. The submicron carbide grade provides wear resistance and rigidity suited to demanding cutting conditions. The bright, uncoated finish allows for direct visual inspection of the cutting edge before and after use. Single-end configuration is standard, with a 1 inch shank diameter and a 6 inch overall length.

This end mill is designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where aluminum and non-ferrous materials are the primary workpiece. The Alumigator Series 1025 geometry - featuring a right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction, and upcut flute type - is optimized for aluminum alloys where chip clearance and surface finish are critical. It is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and shop technicians working in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• 1 inch mill diameter with 2.5 inch length of cut for deep-reach milling
• 3-flute, 37-degree helix angle optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous stock
• Submicron solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction with upcut geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Bright/uncoated finish - no coating buildup at the cutting edge
• Single-end configuration with 1 inch shank diameter and 6 inch overall length

Compatibility

The GWS 101020 belongs to the Alumigator Series 1025 and is suited for use in milling applications involving aluminum and similar non-ferrous materials where a 1 inch diameter, 3-flute solid carbide end mill is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before securing the end mill. Use an appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for 1 inch shank diameter and confirm runout with a dial indicator before production cuts. Follow shop-specific feeds-and-speeds guidelines and applicable machine safety protocols for rotating tooling.
