With a 3\/16 inch cutting diameter and a 45-degree helix angle, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting performance. The submicron carbide grade and ZrN (zirconium nitride) coating provide elevated hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in demanding conditions. It features a 3\/8 inch length of cut, 2 inch overall length, and a 3\/16 inch shank diameter. This is a single-end, right-hand cut tool suited for CNC machining centers and manual milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is well suited for finishing and profiling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including steels, aluminum alloys, and similar workpiece materials. The 2-flute geometry and upcut flute direction make it effective for slotting and peripheral milling where chip clearance is a priority. It fits standard tool holders accepting a 3\/16 inch shank. The Series 2010 designation identifies it within the GWS product line for consistent reorder and replacement sourcing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid submicron carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZrN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute, upcut geometry suited for slotting and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3\/16 inch shank tool holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the depth recommended by the holder manufacturer to prevent runout. Follow all applicable shop safety protocols and manufacturer guidelines for cutting speeds and feeds based on workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 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\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 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: ZrN (Zirconium Nitride)\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\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 312973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52121297420594,"sku":"312973","price":61.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3e0ed050d357cd7747e6bc70e2b6be84_d479a975-4ee1-4b8a-bdbe-5ede27e2af89.jpg?v=1790084446","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gws-312973-square-end-mill-3-16-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
