Osg 3182012 Square End Mill 0.0472 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182012 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.0472-inch mill diameter and a 0.0945-inch length of cut, this is a micro-end mill built for fine-detail work in tight tolerances. The 0.1575-inch shank diameter seats securely in standard collets. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, while the WXL coating extends tool life in demanding cuts. The micrograin carbide construction provides the rigidity and edge retention required for consistent performance in production and job-shop environments. Machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is suited for light to medium milling operations where a small-diameter, high-precision tool is required. Applications include slotting, profiling, and contouring in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration are standard for conventional CNC machining centers. The centercutting design allows plunge entry as well as lateral passes. Series 3721 positions this tool within OSG's lineup of micro-geometry solid carbide end mills intended for fine-feature machining work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut to the specification recommended by the collet manufacturer. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts.
