Osg 3182443 Square End Mill 0.1693 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182443 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. With a 0.1693-inch (4.3 mm) cutting diameter and a 0.5079-inch (12.9 mm) length of cut, this tool is built for small-diameter profiling, slotting, and contouring work. The 2-flute geometry paired with a 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. OSG's WXL coating provides enhanced wear resistance and heat protection during high-speed cuts. The micrograin carbide substrate supports rigidity and edge retention in demanding machining environments. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill suits applications requiring tight tolerances in small-diameter cuts across ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The centercutting design allows plunge milling in addition to standard peripheral and slot cuts. With a 0.2362-inch (6.00 mm) shank diameter and a 50 mm (approximately 1.97-inch) overall length, it fits standard collet toolholding systems used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration are the industry standard for conventional and climb milling setups.

Key Features

• 0.1693-inch (4.3 mm) cutting diameter for small-feature precision milling
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior rigidity and edge retention
• WXL coating for improved wear resistance and thermal protection
• 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capable — supports plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute — standard CNC and manual mill configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill suitable for standard 6.00 mm collet toolholding systems in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a 0.2362-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator familiar with toolholder torque specifications and runout tolerances. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet to the recommended minimum engagement depth per the toolholder manufacturer's guidelines. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts to avoid premature tool wear or part rejection.
