Gws 311782 Square End Mill 3/4 in 5 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 311782 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for demanding material removal applications in professional machine shop environments. With a 0.75-inch mill diameter, 5 flutes, and a 38-degree right-hand helix, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The AlCrO-MAX coating provides enhanced heat and wear resistance, extending tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions. Installed by CNC machinists and tool-and-die professionals, this end mill is suited for milling, slotting, and profiling operations on machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is designed for use in standard vertical and horizontal machining centers. The 1.625-inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth passes, while the 4-inch overall length provides adequate reach for most common milling setups. The square shank measures 0.75 inches in diameter, fitting standard ER and straight-bore tool holders. Its centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material without a pre-drilled pilot hole, expanding its range of usable operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with submicron material grade for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlCrO-MAX coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in high-speed cutting
• 5-flute right-hand upcut geometry for improved surface finish and chip clearance
• 38-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduced vibration
• Centercutting design allows plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Series 2205 standard length configuration fits common tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard straight-bore and ER collet tool holders accepting a 0.75-inch shank diameter, compatible with vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holder torque and runout specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify shank engagement depth meets the tool holder manufacturer minimum requirement to prevent pull-out under cutting loads. Consult applicable shop safety standards and machine documentation before operation.
