Osg 20220900 Square End Mill 3/16 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 20220900 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 3/16-inch cutting diameter and a 9/16-inch length of cut, this tool removes material cleanly in slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling applications. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. An uncoated carbide substrate provides consistent performance and makes it easy to inspect for wear. This is a single-end, right-hand cut, right-hand flute tool in the OSG Series 2022 lineup, sized for light to medium material removal in precision machining environments.

This end mill suits CNC machining centers and manual mills in job shop, tool-and-die, and general machining environments. The 3/16-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, allowing direct chuck or collet mounting without a reduction bushing. The 2-inch overall length keeps the tool rigid in setups where minimal overhang is critical. Its centercutting design allows plunge entry, making it suitable for pocketing operations in addition to standard peripheral and slot milling. Typical installers are machinists and CNC operators working in production or prototype environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• 2-flute geometry promotes chip clearance in slotting and pocketing operations
• 30-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute configuration compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Uncoated finish for straightforward wear inspection and re-grinding compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 3/16-inch collet or chuck systems on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and powered down before tool changes. Seat the shank fully into the collet or chuck and torque to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, and confirm feeds and speeds are appropriate for the workpiece material and depth of cut.
