Gws 118022 Square End Mill 0.2 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 118022 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composite, and hard material applications. Built with three flutes and a 37-degree helix angle, this center-cutting tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and a clean finish in both slotting and peripheral milling cuts. The 0.2-inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1/4-inch shank, making it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders. At 2 inches overall length with a 1/4-inch length of cut, it is suited for tight-tolerance work where rigidity and accuracy matter. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where a small-diameter, high-rigidity cutting tool is required. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is the standard orientation for conventional and climb milling on most spindle setups. The uncoated solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for dry cutting or use with cutting fluid on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It belongs to the GWS Armory series, a line oriented toward general-purpose precision milling applications.

Key Features

• 0.2-inch cutting diameter with 1/4-inch shank for use in standard collet systems
• 3-flute geometry with 37-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow and smooth surface finish
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle operation
• Uncoated solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision cuts
• Part of the GWS Armory series for general-purpose milling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/4-inch shank end mill with a standard collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention nut to the tool holder manufacturer's specified value. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts.
