Osg 3182024 Square End Mill 0.0945 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182024 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.0945 inch cutting diameter and a 0.189 inch length of cut, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in tight geometries. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces, while the WXL coating adds wear resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The micrograin carbide substrate provides hardness and edge retention suitable for demanding cuts. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers in job shop and production environments.

The OSG 3182024 is suited for small-diameter milling operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. Its 0.1575 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders used in precision machining setups. The centercutting design allows plunge entry as well as conventional end and side milling. The two-flute configuration leaves more chip clearance, making it well suited for softer metals and materials where chip load management is critical. It falls within the OSG Series 3721 product family.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• WXL coating for improved wear resistance and tool life
• 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting capable — supports plunge milling entry
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry for standard spindle rotation
• Two-flute design provides maximum chip clearance in the cut zone

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 0.1575 inch shank diameter. Compatible with CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped for small-diameter tooling in the OSG Series 3721 range.

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 or tool holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the holder manufacturer specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts.
