It features a 3\/8-inch mill diameter, a 1\/2-inch length of cut, and a 3-flute geometry with a 37-degree helix angle. The single-end, right-hand cutting configuration is optimized for upcut flute action, helping clear chips efficiently during cutting operations. Machined from submicron-grade carbide, this end mill delivers consistent edge retention and dimensional accuracy. It is part of the GWS 1026 Alumigator series and comes with a bright, uncoated finish. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers and users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GWS 101029 is suited for milling aluminum and similar soft, non-ferrous materials in both production shop and job-shop environments. The extended-reach design, with a 2-1\/8-inch reach length, allows access to deeper pockets and stepped features that standard-length end mills cannot reach. The 3\/8-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collet and end mill holders commonly found on vertical machining centers and CNC milling machines. Its center-cutting capability allows for direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch mill diameter with matching 3\/8-inch shank for direct collet fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 flutes with a 37-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubmicron-grade solid carbide construction for edge retention in non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended reach of 2-1\/8 inches for deep pocket and stepped-feature milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suited for aluminum and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the GWS 1026 Alumigator series, designed for use in standard 3\/8-inch collets and end mill holders on CNC vertical machining centers and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine power is off before changing tooling. Use a torque-rated collet wrench when securing the shank in the collet holder to ensure proper grip without over-tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after setup before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches (0.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/8 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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1026 Alumigator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.28 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: 101029\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52043703943474,"sku":"101029","price":140.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ff7dcd4f68f36ce4f5006367b435e678_964d8a93-b8ef-41c1-b240-ddd5acea7e93.jpg?v=1790029309","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-101029-square-end-mill-3-8-in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
