Gws 101067 Square End Mill 3/16 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 101067 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. Built on the Alumigator Series 1026 platform, this single-end tool features a 3/16 inch diameter cutting edge with a 5/16 inch length of cut and a 37-degree helix angle. The submicron carbide grade and bright/uncoated finish make it well-suited for aluminum and other non-ferrous materials where edge sharpness and chip evacuation are critical. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms rely on this class of end mill for precision profiling, slotting, and contouring operations.

This end mill fits standard machining centers and CNC milling machines where a 3/16 inch shank diameter is appropriate. The 2 inch overall length with a 1 inch extended reach and a neck diameter of approximately 0.17 mm provides access to deeper features while maintaining rigidity. The three-flute, right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is optimized for aluminum milling applications where chip clearing and surface finish are priorities. It is packaged and sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch cutting diameter with 5/16 inch length of cut for precise, controlled engagement
• Three-flute, right-hand cut geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials
• 37-degree helix angle improves cutting action and surface finish quality
• Submicron solid carbide grade delivers hardness and edge retention at elevated cutting speeds
• Extended reach design with 1 inch reach length allows access to deeper pockets and profiles
• Bright/uncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry without coating buildup on soft alloys
• Center-cutting capability enables plunge entry directly into workpiece material

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit tool for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter collet or toolholder, consistent with the GWS Series 1026 Alumigator end mill family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or in a safe state before loading or unloading the tool. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 3/16 inch shank diameter and torque the drawbar or collet nut according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
