It carries an AlCrO-MAX finish, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The 1\/4 inch diameter, 1 inch length of cut, and 3 inch overall length make this a compact, versatile tool suited to profiling, slotting, and contouring operations. The 38-degree helix angle and upcut flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation, while centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines in tool and die shops, production machining environments, and maintenance machine shops. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional spindle operation. A 1\/4 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders. Series 2205 positions this tool for applications where surface finish quality and extended tool life are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-flute design increases feed rates and improves surface finish compared to 4-flute geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlCrO-MAX coating provides elevated heat and oxidation resistance for dry and semi-dry cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e38-degree helix angle with upcut flute promotes positive chip evacuation in deep pockets and slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows plunge milling without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare shank, standard length configuration for direct collet or end mill holder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style cutting tool for use in standard 1\/4 inch collets, ER collet chucks, and end mill holders on CNC and manual milling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists and CNC operators. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder and torque the drawbar or collet nut to machine manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut, as excessive runout accelerates wear on carbide end mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlCrO-MAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (1.0000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches (3.0000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Upcut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2205\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GWS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 311446\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52035831595314,"sku":"311446","price":77.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/19aa00cbfa6a06c5ff97f3f4452d025f_23bcadd7-8ebb-408f-91c8-ffda951a194a.jpg?v=1790023405","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-311446-square-end-mill-1-4-inch-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
