Gws 310354 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 310354 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, and cast iron. It features a 1/2-inch diameter with a matching 1/2-inch straight cylindrical shank and a 0.120-inch corner radius that reduces edge chipping and extends tool life in demanding cuts. With 4 flutes and a variable helix angle, the 310354 suppresses chatter and improves surface finish across both roughing and finishing operations. The 2-inch length of cut and 4-inch overall length make it well suited for moderate-depth pocketing and profiling work.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and milling machines where tight tolerances and clean finishes are required on difficult materials. It fits standard end mill holders with 1/2-inch bore capacity and is rated for use on steel and stainless steel as primary workpiece materials, with cast iron as a secondary application. The Series 2100 designation places it in a long-reach configuration suitable for deeper cavity work. It is centercutting and right-hand cutting with right-hand flute direction, supporting direct plunge entry and conventional or climb milling passes.

Key Features

• 0.120-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration and edge chipping on hard materials
• Variable helix and variable index flute geometry minimizes vibration and chatter during cuts
• Solid submicron carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in steel and superalloy applications
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• 2-inch length of cut with 4-inch overall length supports deeper pocketing and profiling operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders accepting a 1/2-inch straight cylindrical shank. Rated for primary use on steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, with cast iron as a secondary workpiece material.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Seat the shank fully into the end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the holder manufacturer specifications before engaging the spindle. Inspect the tool for runout with a dial indicator after mounting and before the first cut. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material being cut.
