Osg 3182441 Square End Mill 0.1614 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182441 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. It features a 0.1614-inch mill diameter with a 0.4843-inch length of cut, making it suited for shallow-to-moderate depth passes in tight-tolerance applications. The 2-flute geometry and 35-degree helix angle support efficient chip evacuation, and the WXL coating improves wear resistance and tool life in abrasive or high-speed cutting conditions. The micrograin carbide substrate adds rigidity and edge retention. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, production facilities, and toolroom environments.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional spindle rotation. With centercutting capability, the tool can plunge directly into a workpiece without a pre-drilled entry point. The 0.2362-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders used in light-duty precision milling setups where small-diameter tooling is required.

Key Features

• 0.1614-inch mill diameter with 0.4843-inch length of cut for precise, shallow milling passes
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended edge retention
• WXL coating for improved wear resistance and reduced friction in demanding cuts
• 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with collets or end mill holders accepting a 0.2362-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth per the holder manufacturer's guidance, and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts. Always confirm spindle rotation direction matches the right-hand cut designation of this tool before operation.
