Gws 310545 Corner Radius End Mill 1in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 310545 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in demanding machining environments. Built for both roughing and finishing operations, it features a 1 inch diameter, a 2 inch length of cut, and a 0.03 inch corner radius that protects the cutting edge and extends tool life. The variable helix and variable index geometry reduce chatter and vibration during aggressive cuts. This tool is used by machinists and tooling professionals in CNC milling applications where precision and tool durability are critical.

The 310545 is engineered for primary use in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium, with secondary capability in cast iron. It is well suited for job shops and production environments running high-speed milling operations on tough materials. The center-cutting design allows for plunge entry, adding versatility to its application range. The straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance fits standard end mill holders for secure, repeatable clamping.

Key Features

• Solid carbide submicron grain construction for rigidity and edge retention in hard materials
• Variable helix and variable index design reduces harmonic vibration during cutting
• 0.03 inch corner radius protects flute edges and improves surface finish at part corners
• Center-cutting capable for plunge milling entry
• Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance for precise fit in end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Secondary workpiece material is cast iron.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a properly sized end mill holder and verify runout before beginning cuts. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut when working with carbide end mills in hard or exotic materials.
