It features a 3\/8 inch mill diameter, a 1\/2 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length. The AlCrO-MAX coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection, extending tool life in abrasive and high-temperature cutting environments. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide with a 38-degree helix angle, this single-end, right-hand cutting tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action across a wide range of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations on materials spanning multiple workpiece categories, including ferrous metals, cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous materials, steel alloys, and superalloys (material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S). It is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills in job shop, production, and maintenance and repair environments. The upcut flute geometry and centercutting capability allow for plunging, slotting, and peripheral milling operations. Standard length classification makes it a practical general-purpose tool for machinists across industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-flute geometry increases feed rate capacity and improves surface finish compared to lower flute-count tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlCrO-MAX coating provides high oxidation resistance and hardness for extended tool life in heat-generating cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e38-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth cutting action and effective chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubmicron-grade solid carbide substrate delivers rigidity and resistance to edge wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design enables direct plunge entry into workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eh6 shank diameter tolerance ensures precise fit in standard collets and toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on workpiece materials within GWS Series 2205 application range, covering material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the recommended gauge depth in the collet or toolholder and torque the collet nut to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to protect tool life and workpiece accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 to 0.6000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Submicron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlCrO-MAX\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Upcut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2205\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: H, K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 311522\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52103588086066,"sku":"311522","price":89.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/19aa00cbfa6a06c5ff97f3f4452d025f_81afbb36-2680-45f0-a1d8-56fb53a0dd8c.jpg?v=1790071346","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-311522-square-end-mill-3-8-in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
