Osg 3182437 Square End Mill 0.1457 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182437 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 0.1457-inch (3.7 mm) cutting diameter and a 0.437-inch (11.1 mm) length of cut, this tool is suited for fine detail work in tight tolerances. The 0.2362-inch (6.00 mm) shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard collets and end mill holders. The WXL coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Typically installed by machinists and CNC operators in production and job shop environments.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter, high-precision cuts are required. The 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces at small diameters. Its centercutting geometry allows for direct plunge entry, enabling ramping and helical interpolation strategies. The 45 mm overall length provides adequate reach without sacrificing rigidity in most standard setups. This tool suits applications in aerospace, medical device, and general precision machining where micrograin carbide grades are specified.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for high rigidity and edge retention at small diameters
• WXL coating for enhanced wear resistance and extended tool life
• 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design allows plunge, ramp, and helical entry
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry for standard CNC spindle rotation
• Single-end configuration optimized for precision detail milling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard square end mill replacement for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.2362-inch (6.00 mm) shank diameter toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before operation. Verify spindle runout with a dial indicator before first use to protect the cutting edge at this small diameter. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting tooling.
