Gws 125625 Square End Mill 1/4 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 125625 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in metalworking and machining applications. Built from submicron-grade carbide, this single-end tool features three flutes with a 37-degree helix angle and an upcut, right-hand cutting direction. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well-suited for cutting operations where coating adhesion is not required or where the base carbide substrate is preferred. With a 0.25-inch cutting diameter and 1.125-inch length of cut, it handles moderate-depth slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling passes on CNC mills and manual milling machines. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers and users of this tool.

This end mill is intended for use in both production machining and toolroom environments. It fits standard 1/4-inch straight-shank collets and tool holders, making it compatible with a wide range of vertical and horizontal milling setups. The Series 1015 designation places it within a defined family of GWS standard-length end mills. Its 3-inch overall length provides clearance for most common fixturing situations without introducing excessive runout or deflection during cuts.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for wear resistance and edge stability
• 37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation with an upcut flute geometry
• Three-flute design balances chip load capacity and feed rate flexibility
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and general-purpose milling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• Standard-length shank at 3 inches OAL for broad machine compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-inch collets and straight-shank tool holders on CNC and manual milling machines. No specific model or system compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this end mill should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with proper tooling setup and machine operation. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the collet. Verify collet size matches the 1/4-inch shank diameter and that the tool is seated and torqued to the tool holder manufacturer specification before initiating cuts. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.
