It features a 1\/2 inch diameter with a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut and a 3 inch overall length. The 5-flute geometry paired with a 38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. An AlCrO-MAX coating improves heat and wear resistance, making this tool well-suited for demanding cutting applications. The shank diameter is 1\/2 inch with an h6 tolerance, ensuring consistent fitment in standard toolholders. This end mill is single-end, center-cutting, and runs right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and high-speed spindle setups across job shops, tool rooms, and production environments. It is rated for use on a broad spectrum of materials, including hardened materials, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, structural steels, and high-temperature alloys, as indicated by primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The upcut flute geometry and AlCrO-MAX coating make it particularly effective in applications involving elevated cutting temperatures or abrasive materials. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the typical end users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide submicron-grade construction for rigidity and wear life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlCrO-MAX coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-flute design increases feed rates compared to standard 4-flute end mills\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e38-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capability allows plunge entry into workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction with upcut geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eh6 shank tolerance ensures precise fit in collets and toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 1\/2 inch collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered off or in an e-stop state before inserting or removing the tool. Clean the toolholder bore and shank thoroughly before seating to prevent runout. Confirm proper insertion depth and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before beginning any cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 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: 1-1\/4 inches (1.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlCrO-MAX\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\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\u003eCenter Cutting\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\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: 0.36 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: 311634\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52080877306162,"sku":"311634","price":156.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/19aa00cbfa6a06c5ff97f3f4452d025f_8ee68622-35fa-461e-8de8-b38ab5bae143.jpg?v=1790055827","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-311634-square-end-mill-1-2-in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
