Gws 124010 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 124010 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in non-ferrous metals. It features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 0.03 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life. With 3 flutes and a coarse pitch configuration, this end mill is optimized for roughing operations where chip evacuation and feed rates are the priority. The submicron carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance needed in demanding machining environments. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this tool in standard end mill toolholders.

This end mill is suited for roughing cuts in non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. The right-hand cutting, right-hand spiral flute geometry and high helix style promote efficient chip flow and reduce built-up edge on softer materials. The single-end, centercutting design allows for both peripheral and plunge cuts. It is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with compatible end mill toolholders.

Key Features

• Solid submicron carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress concentration during roughing passes
• 3-flute coarse pitch design promotes aggressive chip evacuation in high-feed roughing
• Centercutting geometry supports both peripheral milling and direct plunge entry
• High helix spiral flute style improves surface finish and chip flow on non-ferrous materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for consistent fit in standard end mill toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill toolholders. Primary workpiece material is non-ferrous metal. Series 1015 single-end corner radius end mill with straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is clean and free of debris before installing or removing the end mill. Secure the shank to the full recommended engagement depth in the toolholder and verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.
