With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter and a 2.25 inch length of cut, this three-flute tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and a smooth cutting action in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cut, right-hand upcut flute geometry moves chips away from the workpiece, reducing recutting and heat buildup. At 4 inches overall length with a 0.5 inch shank, it fits standard ER or straight-bore toolholders common in vertical and horizontal CNC mills. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill belongs to GWS Series 1020 and is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without a pre-drilled hole. Primary workpiece material codes indicate suitability for hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature alloys. The uncoated solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for applications where coolant is used or where coating compatibility with the workpiece material must be carefully matched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree flutes with upcut right-hand geometry for efficient chip removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduced chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch shank diameter fits standard collet and toolholder systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with flood coolant or oil mist lubrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-length replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5 inch straight shank.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder to the torque specification called out in the toolholder manufacturer documentation. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use, as solid carbide is brittle and should not be used if edge damage is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand Upcut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\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: 1020\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.44 pounds\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: 125648\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51986007785778,"sku":"125648","price":182.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/adc60a28a1546ce71618d65495d22e49_ebf89b6f-5b68-476b-97a2-a75e2a123010.jpg?v=1789985874","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-125648-square-end-mill-0-5in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
