With a 0.5-inch mill diameter, a 1.75-inch length of cut, and a 4-inch overall length, this tool is built for demanding production environments. The variable 38-degree helix angle reduces chatter and improves chip evacuation, while the nACRo coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability. Submicron carbide grade construction adds toughness at the cutting edge. Single-end configuration with a right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction. Installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations across a broad spectrum of workpiece materials, including tool steels and hardened steels (P-code), cast irons (K-code), stainless steels (M-code), non-ferrous materials (N-code), heat-resistant superalloys (S-code), and high-temperature alloys (H-code). The center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry, expanding its range of applicable operations. Standard length type makes it a direct fit for conventional milling setups without requiring extended-reach toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute geometry increases feed rate capability and improves surface finish compared to 4-flute designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix angle reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enACRo coating delivers high hardness and oxidation resistance for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubmicron carbide grade provides superior edge toughness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge and ramp entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with upcut flute direction for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a Series 1035 solid carbide square end mill compatible with standard 0.5-inch collet and toolholder systems accepting an h6-tolerance shank.

Ensure the toolholder and collet are clean and within specified runout tolerance before seating the shank. Confirm spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut are set per the material and tool diameter before engaging the workpiece. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping at regular intervals and replace when performance degrades to avoid workpiece damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\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\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.48 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 121520\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52076474433842,"sku":"121520","price":236.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/65f04677bfdd18c08754079ed70f8d9e_466bc2de-82a2-4374-a511-4008896b921f.jpg?v=1790052684","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-121520-square-end-mill-0-5in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
