With a 5\/8 inch cutting diameter, 5 flutes, and a 2-1\/4 inch length of cut, this tool delivers aggressive chip evacuation and a superior surface finish in a single operation. The variable 38-degree helix angle reduces chatter and cutting forces, making it well-suited for finishing and semi-finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The nACRo coating provides enhanced heat resistance and wear protection for extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists in job shop, manufacturing, and tool-and-die environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 120968 is applicable to CNC milling centers and manual mills handling materials that benefit from a high-flute-count finishing tool with variable helix geometry. The 5-inch overall length and 5\/8 inch shank diameter allow mounting in standard collet chucks and end mill holders. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are consistent with conventional CNC spindle rotation. The Series 1035 designation identifies this as part of a specific GWS tooling family intended for precision milling applications where surface quality and dimensional accuracy are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8 inch cutting diameter with a matching 5\/8 inch shank for rigid, concentric seating in standard holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-flute geometry increases feed rates and improves finish quality compared to standard 4-flute designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix angle reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during full-length cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003enACRo coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended wear life on hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubmicron-grade solid carbide substrate delivers consistent edge retention and dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end, right-hand upcut design for direct compatibility with standard CNC spindle configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use end mill compatible with standard 5\/8 inch collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling systems used in CNC vertical and horizontal milling centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before mounting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank to the minimum recommended insertion depth as specified by the holder manufacturer to maximize rigidity and prevent tool pullout. Verify runout at the tool tip with a dial indicator before initiating a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/4 inches (2.25 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.625 inches)\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: nACRo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1035\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.94 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 120968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52074889412914,"sku":"120968","price":398.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/65f04677bfdd18c08754079ed70f8d9e_3729cd25-0515-4008-a83e-91e5a4827224.jpg?v=1790051480","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-120968-square-end-mill-5-8-in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
