Osg 3131510 Square End Mill 0.0197 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3131510 is a miniature square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this end mill delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed when cutting at very small diameters. The cutting diameter measures 0.0197 inches (0.5 mm), with a length of cut of 0.0276 inches (0.7 mm) and a shank diameter of 0.1575 inches (4.00 mm). The WXL coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation at this micro scale, and the centercutting geometry allows for plunge entry.

This end mill is suited for high-precision CNC milling operations where tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are required. The extended reach design and 10 mm reach length make it appropriate for slots, pockets, and contour work in areas with limited clearance. Typical applications include mold and die work, medical component machining, and aerospace detail parts where small-diameter tooling is standard. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers on vertical machining centers and CNC mills equipped for micro tooling. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction follow conventional milling orientation.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention at small diameters
• WXL coating reduces wear and friction, extending tool life in demanding materials
• 30-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation during micro milling
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Extended reach design with 10 mm reach length for access in confined workpiece features
• 2-flute configuration balances chip clearance and cutting stability at 0.0197 inches diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.1575 inch (4.00 mm) shank diameter collet or toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for micro-diameter tooling. Ensure the collet and toolholder are clean and free of runout before securing the shank to the specified clamping torque for the holder type in use. At this diameter, excessive runout or improper seating will cause immediate tool failure. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate parameters appropriate for the workpiece material before initiating a cut.
