Osg 3182005 Square End Mill 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182005 is a 2-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, this single-end tool features a right-hand cutting and flute direction with a helical flute geometry. It carries a WXL coating that improves surface hardness and wear resistance for extended tool life in demanding cuts. The shank diameter is 0.1575 inches with an overall length of 45 millimeters. Center-cutting capability allows the tool to plunge directly into workpiece material. The part weighs approximately 0.017 pounds.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines handling ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The WXL coating and micrograin carbide substrate make it appropriate for dry or minimal-lubrication cutting environments. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in precision job shop and production settings. This is a single-end, non-extended-reach tool intended for standard-depth milling passes.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• WXL coating for improved wear resistance and heat management
• 2-flute design promotes chip evacuation in slotting and plunge cuts
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into material
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for standard spindle compatibility
• Single-end configuration with 0.1575 inch shank diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill for standard milling machine and CNC machining center tool holders accepting a 0.1575 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation of end mills should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the tool holder manufacturer's specified engagement depth. Verify runout after installation before beginning any cutting operation.
