Gws 314814 Square End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 314814 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in milling operations. Built from submicron-grade carbide, this single-end tool offers a 1/2-inch cutting diameter with a 5/8-inch length of cut and a 3-inch overall length. The 37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the three-flute, right-hand cut geometry suits a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals, this end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality are priorities.

This end mill fits standard applications requiring a 1/2-inch shank in ER collets, end mill holders, or Weldon-style tool holders. The bright, uncoated finish makes it suitable for applications where coating compatibility or post-process treatment is a factor. The upcut flute direction and centercutting capability allow plunge entry as well as conventional side milling. It performs in profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations on a variety of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 37-degree right-hand helix for effective chip evacuation
• Three flutes with upcut geometry and centercutting capability
• Bright/uncoated finish - compatible with a broad range of materials
• Single-end design with 1/2-inch shank and 3-inch overall length
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/2-inch shank end mill holder or collet system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling setup procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before inserting or removing tooling. Verify that the tool holder is clean and free of runout before tightening to the holder manufacturer's specified retention method. Confirm cutting parameters - speed, feed, and depth of cut - match the workpiece material and machine capability before initiating a cut.
