Osg 3182430 Square End Mill 0.1181 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182430 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a cutting diameter of 0.1181 inches (3 mm) and a length of cut of 0.3543 inches (9 mm), this tool is suited for finishing passes and slot milling in tight geometries. The 0.2362 inch (6 mm) shank seats securely in standard collet chucks and end mill holders. A 35-degree helix angle and right-hand cut geometry promote efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. The WXL coating enhances wear resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and CNC operators in production shops and tool rooms are the primary users.

This end mill is appropriate for light to medium-duty milling on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The center-cutting design allows plunge entry as well as peripheral cuts. With a micrograin carbide substrate and WXL coating, it handles a range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum alloys. The 2-flute configuration provides clearance for chip flow in slotting operations and confined pockets. Overall length is 45 mm, keeping the tool rigid in short-reach setups.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and dimensional stability
• WXL coating for enhanced wear resistance and longer tool life
• 35-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and smoother cutting action
• Center-cutting capable — supports both plunge and peripheral milling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute geometry for standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• 2-flute design optimized for slotting and pocket milling in confined areas

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.2362 inch (6 mm) round shank end mill in a compatible collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated in the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace if damage is present.
