Gws 313496 Square End Mill 3/4 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide Zrn

Product Description

The GWS 313496 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in machining operations. Built to Series 2010 standards with a submicron carbide grade, it features a 3/4 inch diameter cutting edge, a 4 inch length of cut, and a 7 inch overall length. The 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. A ZrN (zirconium nitride) coating extends tool life by increasing surface hardness and reducing heat buildup at the cutting edge. With two flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, this end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and pocketing applications where aggressive material engagement and surface finish quality are priorities.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling operations across metalworking shops, tool and die facilities, and production machining environments. The 3/4 inch shank diameter matches standard ER collet chucks and end mill holders. The single-end, centercutting design allows plunge entry and side milling in a single setup. It is appropriate for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a long-reach, high-helix tool geometry is required. Machinists and tool crib operators in job shop and production settings are the primary users.

Key Features

• Solid submicron carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• ZrN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 45-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• 4 inch length of cut accommodates deep pocketing and long-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use cutting tool for standard 3/4 inch end mill holders, ER collet chucks, and hydraulic tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Always power down and lock out the spindle before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the minimum clamping depth recommended by the holder manufacturer before torquing the retention mechanism. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or wear before each use, and verify runout with an indicator after mounting.
