It features a 3\/8-inch (0.375 inches) mill diameter with a matching 3\/8-inch straight shank, a 1.5-inch length of cut, and a 40-degree helix angle optimized to evacuate chips efficiently in soft, gummy metals. Variable index geometry reduces harmonic vibration during cutting, extending tool life and improving surface finish. The centercutting design allows plunge entry. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators in job shop, production, and toolroom environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 48310 is built for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials, making it a practical choice for aerospace, automotive, and general fabrication applications where clean chip evacuation and finish quality are critical. Its 3.5-inch overall length provides reach for standard depth cuts without sacrificing rigidity. The single-end, right-hand cutting and right-hand flute configuration is the standard orientation for conventional CNC milling centers and manual knee mills. No coolant-through feature is present, so flood or mist coolant is applied externally at the cutting zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index pitch reduces chatter and harmonic vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting capable — supports direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suited for aluminum where coating adhesion can cause built-up edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute, single-end configuration for standard CNC setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in aluminum and non-ferrous materials as an end mill in CNC machining centers, routers, and manual milling machines accepting a 3\/8-inch straight shank toolholder or collet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the straight shank in a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or set-screw holder rated for the shank diameter before operation. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tool installation — excessive runout accelerates edge wear and degrades surface finish. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (1-1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches (3-1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Non-Ferrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.161 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HELICAL SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48310\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755307368754,"sku":"48310","price":105.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e42bfdf53c6c6e31a8a589b0c5de1415_d4fc9272-2ac1-4677-9d0e-61d9898363a6.jpg?v=1788953427","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-48310-3-flute-square-end-mill-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
