Gws 310917 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 310917 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in ferrous and high-temperature alloy machining applications. Built to Series 2105 specifications, it features a 1/2 inch diameter, a 0.12 inch corner radius, and 4 flutes with a variable helix and variable index geometry. The short flute length of 5/8 inch combined with an extended reach shank delivers rigidity where it counts. The submicron carbide grade supports the tool durability demands of steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Single-end and centercutting construction allows plunge entry and versatile toolpath strategies. Weight is 1 pound.

This end mill is suited for CNC milling operations in job shops, aerospace machining cells, and production environments where both roughing and finishing passes are performed with a single tool. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Cast iron is a rated secondary material. The 6 inch overall length and 3.375 inch reach length accommodate setups requiring clearance over fixtures or part features. The straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance mounts directly into standard end mill toolholders.

Key Features

• Variable helix and variable index geometry reduces chatter and harmonics during aggressive cuts
• Submicron solid carbide grade rated for steel, stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium
• 0.12 inch corner radius extends edge life and reduces stress concentration at the cutting corner
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Extended reach at 3.375 inches suits deep pocket and tall fixturing setups
• Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting for standard CNC spindle orientation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill toolholders accepting a 1/2 inch straight cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance. Rated for machining steel, stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the toolholder bore is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before engaging the workpiece. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tightening torque on the toolholder collet or set screw. Verify spindle direction is right-hand before initiating any cutting cycle.
