Gws 310374 Square End Mill 5/8in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 310374 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling across a broad range of workpiece materials. It features a 5/8 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, and four flutes with a 38-degree helix angle. The AlCrO-MAX coating provides elevated hardness and oxidation resistance, making this tool well suited for demanding cutting conditions. Fabricated from submicron-grade solid carbide, the 310374 is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills by machinists and tooling professionals.

This end mill is rated for use on a wide range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, general steels, and high-temperature alloys, as indicated by primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The single-end configuration and standard length designation make it a practical choice for general-purpose profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations in both job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlCrO-MAX coating for high-temperature oxidation resistance and extended tool life
• 38-degree right-hand helix with right-hand cutting direction for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece
• Four upcut flutes with no chipbreaker for smooth finish on profiling passes
• h6 shank diameter tolerance for consistent, accurate toolholder fitment

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 5/8 inch toolholders including collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit holders that accept h6-tolerance shank diameters. Suitable for materials under GWS Series 2100 application guidelines covering codes H, K, M, N, P, and S workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for toolholder torque and runout. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Minimum shank engagement should meet at least one times the shank diameter to prevent pullout under load. Verify feeds, speeds, and depth of cut against the applicable material and coating recommendations before operation.
