The GWS Tool Group 315250 is a new, solid carbide 3-flute ball nose end mill engineered specifically for aluminum and non-ferrous machining (ALUM designation), featuring a ZrN (Zirconium Nitride) coating applied over a bright-finish substrate — visible as the characteristic gold/champagne color on the flutes. The tool measures 3/8 in cutting diameter with a 3/8 in straight shank, 1 in length of cut, and 2-1/2 in overall length; the SEEM designation confirms a square (flat) end-of-shank profile and center-cutting capability with chip-thinning geometry optimized for high-speed aluminum milling. ZrN coating provides a low coefficient of friction and excellent lubricity against aluminum, suppressing built-up edge (BUE) at elevated surface speeds while the 3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation volume with rigidity for high metal-removal-rate profiling, finishing, and 3D contouring in aluminum, brass, copper, and plastics on CNC machining centers accepting ER or shrink-fit 3/8 in bore toolholders.
