Gws 310416 Square End Mill 5/8 Inch 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 310416 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in a wide range of metalworking and machining applications. Built to Series 2100 specifications, it carries an AlCrO-MAX finish that extends tool life under high-heat cutting conditions. The 5/8-inch diameter cutting head is paired with a 2-1/2-inch length of cut and a 5-inch overall length, making it well suited for standard-depth profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling. With four flutes, a 38-degree helix angle, and a right-hand cut with right-hand flute geometry, this end mill delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes on a broad spectrum of workpiece materials.

This end mill is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working on milling machines and machining centers in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. The centercutting design allows plunge milling where required. Primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S are supported, covering hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, carbon and alloy steels, and high-temperature superalloys. The upcut flute geometry pulls chips up and away from the cut zone, helping maintain a clean cutting path.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials
• AlCrO-MAX coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance at elevated cutting speeds
• 4-flute, 38-degree helix upcut geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capable - supports plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• h6 shank diameter tolerance ensures a precise, secure tool holder fit

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as specified for Series 2100. Designed for use with standard 5/8-inch tool holders or collets with h6 tolerance clearance on milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and serviced by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the end mill from the tool holder. Verify tool holder runout and clamping torque per the tool holder manufacturer specifications before machining. Never exceed the rated cutting parameters for the workpiece material being machined.
