Osg 3042010 Ball End Mill 0.2362 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3042010 is a 2-flute solid carbide ball end mill designed for high-precision finishing in hard materials and high-hardness steels. The tool measures 0.2362 inches (6 mm) in cutting diameter with a 90 mm overall length and a 6 mm straight-cylindrical shank. A 25-degree medium helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation during both roughing and finishing passes. The DUROREY PVD coating provides thermal resistance and surface hardness suited to demanding ferrous applications. Machining professionals and toolroom operators select this end mill where tight dimensional tolerances and fine surface finishes are required in hardened workpiece materials.

The OSG 3042010 is suited for machining hard materials (H) and steel (P) workpiece groups in CNC milling applications. With a 9 mm length of cut and a 5.80 mm neck diameter, the tool geometry supports finishing operations in pocketing, contouring, and profiling tasks. The stub-length configuration prioritizes rigidity over reach, making it a practical choice for die and mold work, hardened steel components, and precision part finishing where deflection control matters.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard material milling
• DUROREY PVD coating provides thermal and abrasion resistance for high-hardness steels
• 2-flute helical design supports chip clearance during both roughing and finishing cuts
• 25-degree medium helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• Stub-length body prioritizes tool rigidity and reduces deflection at the cutting zone
• Single-end, right-hand cut and flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers requiring a 6 mm shank, 2-flute carbide ball end mill rated for hard material and steel workpiece groups. Compatible within the OSG Series 8510 end mill family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with CNC toolholding practices. Confirm the tool holder bore matches the 6 mm shank diameter and that the collet or chuck is torqued according to the toolholder manufacturer specification before running the spindle. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for damage before each use. Never exceed the manufacturer-recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and coating classification.
