Gws 314797 Square End Mill 7/16 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 314797 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, and engineered plastics. It features a 7/16-inch cutting diameter and a 2-inch length of cut, with a 4-inch overall length and a 7/16-inch shank diameter. The three-flute geometry and 37-degree right-hand helix are optimized for chip evacuation and surface finish in a wide range of milling operations. Manufactured from submicron carbide grade, this end mill delivers consistent edge integrity under demanding cutting conditions. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for non-ferrous materials and general-purpose work where coating adhesion is not required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers and users of this tool.

The GWS 314797 is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations. Its single-end, right-hand cutting configuration makes it a standard choice for general shop work in job shops, production machining environments, and maintenance departments. The center-cutting capability allows for direct plunge entry where needed. The upcut flute direction promotes chip clearing from the workpiece surface, reducing recutting and heat buildup during extended passes.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for edge retention and wear resistance
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation and feed rate capability
• 37-degree right-hand helix reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous and general-purpose applications
• Upcut flute direction promotes chip removal from the cut zone

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 7/16-inch straight shank end mill.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in a collet or end mill holder rated for the 7/16-inch shank diameter. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the holder is torqued to the machine manufacturer's specification before cutting. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.
