Gws 315101 Square End Mill 1 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The GWS 315101 is a single-end, square-profile solid carbide end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. Built from submicron-grade carbide, it delivers consistent cutting performance in demanding materials. The 3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality, while the 37-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth cutting action and reduces chatter. With a 1-inch mill diameter, a 5.5-inch length of cut, and an 8-inch overall length, this tool suits deep-reach slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling where extended reach is required. It carries a bright, uncoated finish and is center-cutting capable. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this tooling.

The GWS 315101 is suited for production and job-shop CNC milling environments where long-reach solid carbide tooling is required. The extended 5.5-inch length of cut makes it appropriate for deep-pocket milling, tall-part profiling, and aerospace or mold-and-die work where standard-length end mills cannot reach. The 1-inch shank diameter ensures secure retention in standard end mill holders or collet chucks. This tool is part of the GWS Series 2030 lineup, which targets high-performance solid carbide end mill applications.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance and finish quality
• 37-degree right-hand helix reduces cutting forces and chatter
• Center-cutting capable for plunge entry
• Bright, uncoated finish - ready for use or compatible with additional coating processes
• Right-hand cutting and flute direction for standard CNC spindle use

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual mills that accept 1-inch shank end mill holders or collet systems; part of the GWS Series 2030 solid carbide end mill family.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked before changing tooling. Use a calibrated torque wrench and appropriate end mill holder or collet chuck rated for the 1-inch shank diameter. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool to ensure concentricity before cutting.
