Gws 310841 Square End Mill 3/8 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 310841 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding metalworking applications. Built to Series 2105 standards, this single-end tool features a 3/8 inch diameter cutting edge with a 1/2 inch length of cut and a 38-degree helix angle. The AlCrO-MAX coating provides enhanced thermal resistance and wear protection, making it well suited for hard material machining at elevated cutting speeds. Four flutes deliver a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish quality. Machining professionals and tool-and-die shops rely on this geometry for consistent material removal in production environments.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines for side milling, slotting, and profiling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The extended reach configuration and submicron carbide grade make it appropriate for applications where tool rigidity and edge retention are critical. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction suit standard spindle configurations. Typical users include machinists, tool room technicians, and precision manufacturing shops working in production or repair contexts.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch mill diameter with 1/2 inch length of cut for precise material engagement
• AlCrO-MAX coating for superior heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Solid submicron carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• Four upcut flutes with right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC spindle use
• Extended reach configuration accommodates deeper workpiece features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for standard 3/8 inch collet or end mill holder systems on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully in a compatible 3/8 inch collet or end mill holder and verify runout before beginning a cut. Ensure the spindle is at a complete stop before changing or adjusting the tool. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting feeds and speeds for carbide tooling.
