Osg 26501516 Diamond Router Bit 0.375in 12 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 26501516 is a solid carbide diamond pattern router bit designed for precision material removal in CNC routing and milling applications. With a 0.375 inch cutter diameter, a 1.5 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length, this end mill delivers consistent chip evacuation and surface finish across a range of workpiece materials. The 12-flute geometry combined with a diamond coating provides extended tool life in high-cycle production environments. A 3/8 inch shank diameter ensures secure tool holding in standard collet chucks. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in production and job-shop settings.

This router bit is suited for finish passes and detail routing where surface quality and dimensional accuracy are priorities. The diamond finish makes it well matched for composite materials, hardwoods, and non-ferrous metals where tool wear is a common concern. The end mill geometry allows use in plunge, slot, and peripheral cutting operations on CNC routers and machining centers.

Key Features

• 12-flute design improves surface finish and reduces per-tooth load at higher feed rates
• Diamond coating extends wear resistance in abrasive and composite materials
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and stability at elevated spindle speeds
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard router collets and end mill holders
• 1.5 inch length of cut supports moderate-depth slotting and profile passes
• 3 inch overall length accommodates standard tool holding without excessive overhang

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool for CNC routers and vertical machining centers accepting a 3/8 inch shank end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a locked-out, de-energized state per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the shank fully into the collet or tool holder and torque the retaining nut according to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the tool and collet for runout before beginning a production run. A licensed machinist or trained CNC operator should verify feeds, speeds, and depth of cut before engaging the workpiece.
