Gws 313304 Square End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Carbide Zrn

Product Description

The GWS 313304 is a 2-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in milling operations. Built from submicron-grade carbide and coated with zirconium nitride (ZrN), it delivers extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. The 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With a 1/2 inch cutting diameter and 1-1/4 inch length of cut, this single-end tool handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in a wide range of CNC and manual machining environments. It is installed and operated by machinists and tooling specialists working in shop and production settings.

The 313304 is suited for use in vertical and horizontal milling machines, machining centers, and CNC routers. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle configurations. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, expanding its use to interpolated pocketing and ramp-entry operations. The ZrN coating provides a hard, low-friction surface that performs well in aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous materials, as well as selected steels.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• ZrN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in non-ferrous and ferrous materials
• 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry enables plunge milling and ramp entry
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility
• Series 2010 single-end design with 1/2 inch shank for secure toolholder grip

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/2 inch collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder to the recommended minimum engagement depth and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or wear before each use.
