Gws 314577 Square End Mill 0.25 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 314577 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, this single-end tool features a 0.25-inch cutting diameter, a 0.75-inch length of cut, and a 37-degree helix angle. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other materials where coating adhesion is not required. Machinists and CNC operators install this tool in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and similar equipment where tight tolerances and clean square shoulders are required.

This end mill is used in shop environments handling light to medium milling work, including slot milling, profiling, and peripheral cutting. Its right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC and manual milling setups. The three-flute geometry provides a balance between chip clearance and surface finish, making it practical for both roughing passes and finish work on a variety of workpiece materials. It belongs to GWS Series 2030 and is a single-quantity item with no minimum order above one piece.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 37-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Three flutes with upcut, right-hand flute direction for standard CNC compatibility
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry into workpieces
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and non-abrasive materials
• Single-end design with 0.25-inch shank diameter matching the cutting diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 0.25-inch shank square end mill for use in collets, end mill holders, or hydraulic chucks sized for 0.25-inch tooling on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth in the tool holder and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow the machine manufacturer and tool manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed based on workpiece material.
