Osg 3131603 Square End Mill 0.0236 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3131603 is a square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built from solid carbide micrograin stock, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for small-diameter work. The mill measures 0.0236 inches in cutting diameter with a 0.0354-inch length of cut and a 0.1575-inch shank diameter. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, while the WXL coating improves wear resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge. Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry. This tool is single-end, right-hand cut, with right-hand flute direction.

This end mill is suited for fine-detail slot milling, profiling, and contouring in hardened or abrasive materials where a small-diameter, high-precision tool is required. The extended reach design and micrograin carbide construction make it appropriate for die and mold work, precision component machining, and similar operations where dimensional accuracy is critical. It is typically installed and run by machinists in CNC milling centers or precision manual mills.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for edge retention in demanding cuts
• WXL coating for improved wear resistance and reduced tool friction
• 30-degree helix angle promotes effective chip evacuation in small-diameter slots
• Center-cutting capable — supports plunge and ramp entry
• Extended reach design for accessing deeper features
• Right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill suitable for CNC milling centers and manual mills accepting a 0.1575-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with CNC or manual milling equipment. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or tool holder. Verify collet size matches the 0.1575-inch shank diameter before clamping. Due to the small cutting diameter, avoid excessive side loads or interrupted cuts that can cause tool deflection or breakage.
