Gws 101062 Square End Mill 3/4 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide Zrn

Product Description

The GWS 101062 is a 3-flute, solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. It features a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length with a matching 3/4 inch shank diameter. The 37-degree right-hand helix and ZrN (zirconium nitride) coating work together to reduce built-up edge and improve chip evacuation in aluminum applications. Made from submicron carbide grade material, this end mill is built for precision work in production and job-shop environments. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling professionals.

The 101062 is engineered for aluminum and soft non-ferrous milling applications where chip clearance and surface finish are priorities. Its three-flute geometry provides a balance between chip load capacity and cutting stability, making it well suited for pocketing, profiling, and slotting operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The upcut flute design promotes chip removal from the cut zone. The ZrN coating adds lubricity and hardness at the cutting edge without significantly altering tool geometry, keeping tolerances consistent across a production run.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch cutting diameter with 1 inch length of cut for rigid, accurate cuts
• Three right-hand flutes with upcut geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• 37-degree helix angle optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• ZrN coating reduces friction and resists built-up edge on sticky alloys
• Submicron solid carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• Center-cutting capable for direct plunge entry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tooling for CNC and manual milling machines accepting a 3/4 inch straight shank end mill, consistent with the GWS Series 1025 Alumigator product line for aluminum milling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tool-holding procedures for straight-shank end mills. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth to minimize runout. Verify feed, speed, and depth-of-cut parameters against the material being cut before starting the operation.
