Osg 3106601 Ball End Mill 0.2362 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide Wxl

Product Description

The OSG 3106601 is a single-end ball end mill engineered for demanding milling operations across a broad range of workpiece materials. Built from ultra fine micrograin solid carbide, it carries a proprietary WXL PVD coating designed to support rigidity and performance in both roughing and finishing passes. The 6 mm cutting diameter with a 3 mm nose radius, 2-flute helical geometry, and 30-degree medium helix angle combine to promote efficient chip evacuation and consistent surface finish. This tool is part of OSG Series 3710, the Exocarb WXL line, intended for machinists and CNC operators running hard milling applications.

This end mill is suited for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and hard materials, as well as secondary applications in non-ferrous metals and superalloys including titanium. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard toolholders and collet chucks. With a 90 mm overall length, 12 mm length of cut, and no extended reach or neck, it is appropriate for standard-depth milling setups in production and job-shop environments on vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• Ultra fine micrograin solid carbide substrate for wear resistance and edge retention
• Proprietary WXL PVD coating optimized for hard milling across diverse material groups
• 2-flute helical geometry with 30-degree medium helix for balanced chip flow
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for use on standard CNC spindles
• Single-end design with straight-cylindrical shank and h6 shank diameter tolerance
• Rated for roughing and finishing in a single tool — steel, stainless, cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous, and superalloys

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-bore collet chucks and toolholders accepting a 6 mm cylindrical shank. Suitable for CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers running steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the shank fully in the collet or toolholder and torque the retention hardware to the toolholder specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates coating wear and reduces tool life.
