Gws 314755 Square End Mill 3/8 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 314755 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and hard plastics. Built from submicron carbide with a bright/uncoated finish, this single-end tool delivers consistent cutting performance at a 37-degree helix angle with a right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction. It carries a 3/8-inch mill diameter, a 1-1/2-inch length of cut, and a 4-inch overall length. Three flutes provide a balance between chip evacuation and surface finish, making it suitable for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling across a range of materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals select this tool for general-purpose work requiring dimensional accuracy and edge integrity.

This end mill fits standard CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual knee mills equipped with a 3/8-inch collet or end mill holder. The upcut flute geometry moves chips away from the cutting zone, reducing recutting and heat buildup. Its non-extended-reach profile keeps the tool rigid during full-depth passes, which is especially useful when machining slots or pockets in steel and aluminum workpieces that demand tight tolerances. Series 2030 tools from GWS are positioned for general-purpose industrial machining environments where tool life and repeatability matter.

Key Features

• Solid submicron carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• 3 flutes with upcut geometry for efficient chip removal
• 37-degree helix angle supports smooth cutting action and reduced chatter
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill setups
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on a wide range of materials
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8-inch collets or end mill holders on CNC machining centers and conventional vertical milling machines as part of the GWS Series 2030 solid carbide end mill line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth to prevent pullout during cutting. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts.
