Gws 312353 Square End Mill 3/4 in 5 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 312353 is a single-end square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide and finished with an AlCrO-MAX coating, this tool delivers extended wear resistance and thermal stability during aggressive cuts. It features a 3/4-inch diameter, a 1-inch length of cut, and a 5-flute geometry that promotes chip evacuation and surface finish quality. The 38-degree right-hand helix angle is optimized for upcut flute action, improving material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. Machinists and toolroom professionals specify this end mill for precision profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations where tool life and dimensional accuracy are critical.

The 312353 is suited for use in CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers across general machining, mold and die, and production environments. Its 3/4-inch square shank and 6-inch overall length make it compatible with standard ER and side-lock toolholding systems. The extended reach configuration supports deep-pocket and shoulder milling scenarios where standard-length tools cannot reach the workpiece. This end mill falls within the GWS Series 2213 product family.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• AlCrO-MAX coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance for longer tool life
• 5-flute design improves chip load per tooth and surface finish quality
• 38-degree right-hand helix angle optimized for upcut milling action
• Extended reach geometry supports deep-pocket and shoulder milling applications
• Single-end configuration with square shank for straightforward toolholder mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/4-inch ER collet chucks, side-lock holders, and milling chucks commonly found in CNC machining centers. Part of the GWS Series 2213 end mill family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an e-stop or locked-out state before changing tooling. Verify shank engagement depth meets the toolholder manufacturer's minimum insertion requirement. Inspect the collet or chuck bore for contamination or wear before seating the tool.
