Gws 120652 Corner Radius End Mill 3/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 120652 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in non-ferrous metal applications. It features a 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) mill diameter with a 0.03 inch corner radius, a 5/8 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide with a bright uncoated finish, this single-end, center-cutting tool runs in a right-hand cutting direction with a high helix, helical flute geometry. Three flutes and a coarse pitch profile support efficient material removal in roughing operations. It fits standard end mill holders with a straight cylindrical 3/16 inch shank held to h6 tolerance.

This end mill is suited for machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass alloys in both production and job-shop environments. Its long-length classification and center-cutting capability allow it to be used for slotting, profiling, and plunging operations. The corner radius geometry reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge, improving tool life in demanding roughing passes. It is used by machinists and tooling professionals working with CNC mills and manual vertical mills equipped with standard end mill holders.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for consistent edge retention in non-ferrous materials
• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and extends tool life in roughing cuts
• Three flutes with helical, coarse-pitch geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design supports direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Bright uncoated finish suited to non-ferrous materials where coating adhesion is not required
• Straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for secure, accurate seating in end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders in CNC machining centers and vertical mills. Primary application is non-ferrous metal workpieces per material code N.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holder torque and runout specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the minimum insertion depth required for the holder style in use. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run.
