Gws 315013 Square End Mill 3/4 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 315013 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it carries a ZrN (zirconium nitride) coating that improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting applications. The 3-flute configuration offers a balance between chip evacuation and surface finish, making it well suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. At 0.75 inches in diameter with a 2.25-inch length of cut and 5-inch overall length, this tool fits standard toolholding setups common in CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is intended for professional machinists and toolroom operators working in job shops, production machining, and general metalworking environments. The 37-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and efficient chip removal during upcut operations. The centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation follows standard CNC spindle configuration, making it a straightforward drop-in for most machining setups running conventional toolpaths.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for hardness and rigidity under aggressive cutting conditions
• ZrN coating provides oxidation resistance and reduces built-up edge in non-ferrous and ferrous materials
• 3-flute geometry balances chip clearance with surface finish quality
• 37-degree upcut helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capable - allows direct plunge entry without pilot drilling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute - compatible with standard CNC and manual mill spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling option for standard 3/4-inch diameter toolholders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a square end mill with a 3/4-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with toolholder torque procedures and runout verification. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the end mill from the toolholder. Verify tool runout with a dial indicator after seating to minimize premature tool wear and surface finish issues. Follow the machine and toolholder manufacturer guidelines for collet or set-screw engagement length.
