Gws 314711 Corner Radius End Mill 3/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 314711 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling of non-ferrous metals. It features a 3/8 inch cutting diameter, a 0.02 inch corner radius, and three right-hand helical flutes at a 37-degree helix angle. The ZrN (zirconium nitride) coating reduces friction and extends tool life in aluminum, brass, copper, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. Built from submicron carbide grain, this single-end, centercutting tool handles both plunge and peripheral cuts. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this end mill in standard end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is suited for short-reach roughing applications on non-ferrous metals in production and job-shop environments. Its coarse pitch and high helix style promote efficient chip evacuation, making it a practical choice for slotting, profiling, and pocket milling in aluminum and other soft metals. The straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance fits standard end mill holders securely and is sized at 3/8 inch shank diameter to match the cutting diameter.

Key Features

• 0.02 inch corner radius reduces stress concentrations at the cutting edge and extends tool life
• ZrN coating improves lubricity and wear resistance for non-ferrous metal machining
• Three right-hand helical flutes with coarse pitch for aggressive chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Submicron carbide grade provides consistent edge integrity at high feed rates
• Straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance ensures precise runout in end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard end mill holders. Primary workpiece material is non-ferrous metal. Fits CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 3/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Power down and lock out the spindle before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the shank fully in the holder and torque the set screw or collet to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
