With a 3\/8 inch cutting diameter and a 1-1\/2 inch length of cut, this single-end tool is built for aggressive material removal while maintaining surface finish quality. The AlCrO-MAX coating provides enhanced heat and wear resistance, making it well suited for hard and abrasive workpiece materials. Machined from submicron carbide grade stock, it delivers the edge stability and rigidity required for production runs and precision work. The 38-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation in upcut flute geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is used in CNC milling operations across job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments. Its 7-flute design is optimized for finish milling and semi-finish passes where a higher flute count improves feed rates and surface quality. The standard length configuration and 3\/8 inch square shank allow direct installation into collet chucks, ER collet systems, and end mill holders compatible with that shank diameter. It is suited for use on vertical and horizontal machining centers running harder ferrous and non-ferrous alloys where coating performance is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-flute geometry increases feed rate capability compared to 4- or 5-flute tools of the same diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlCrO-MAX coating delivers elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubmicron solid carbide construction provides rigidity and sharp, consistent cutting edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e38-degree right-hand helix with upcut flute direction promotes positive chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge and ramp entry operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeries 2215 standard length  -  4 inch overall length with 3\/8 inch shank diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool for CNC machining setups using 3\/8 inch collet chucks, ER collet holders, or end mill holders with a 3\/8 inch bore.

The machine spindle must be powered off and the tool change interlock engaged before inserting or removing the end mill. Ensure the collet or holder bore is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation and before initiating the first cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.\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: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches (1.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 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\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\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\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2215\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.28 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: 312603\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52100606722354,"sku":"312603","price":139.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c9bb5789827aedcb674b406f3ba0a1bf_607ae335-ec72-41de-b32d-efa849c8208d.jpg?v=1790069130","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-312603-square-end-mill-3-8-in-7-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
