Gws 310549 Corner Radius End Mill 1 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 310549 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in demanding machining applications. It features a 1-inch cutting diameter, a 2-inch length of cut, and a 0.06-inch corner radius that reduces edge chipping and extends tool life in interrupted cuts. The 4-flute, single-end configuration supports both roughing and finishing passes, making it a versatile choice for machinists working in steel, stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, and cast iron. The variable helix and variable index geometry help reduce harmonic vibration during aggressive cuts.

This end mill is suited for CNC milling operations in job shops, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing environments where tight tolerances on ferrous and exotic alloys are required. The short flute length and straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance fit standard end mill holders securely. It is used as a single-end tool and is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry into workpieces where the operation requires it.

Key Features

• Solid carbide submicron-grade construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• Variable helix and variable index flute geometry reduces chatter and vibration during high-speed milling
• 0.06-inch corner radius extends tool life and reduces stress concentration at cutting edges
• Centercutting design allows plunge milling and ramp entry
• Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting orientation for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Compatible with end mill holders via 1-inch straight cylindrical shank with h6 shank diameter tolerance

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. Not rated for use on aluminum, plastics, or non-ferrous materials based on available data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the holder manufacturer specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts, particularly when working with tight-tolerance superalloy or titanium applications.
