Osg 3182446 Square End Mill 0.1811 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182446 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for precision milling in demanding metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.1811-inch cutting diameter and a 0.5433-inch length of cut, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling where tight tolerances are required. The 2-flute configuration and 35-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup during the cut. The WXL coating extends tool life when working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This end mill is sized for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where a 0.2362-inch shank diameter is compatible with the collet or tool holder system.

This end mill is suited for precision work in tool rooms, production shops, and job shops running CNC or manual milling equipment. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration match standard spindle rotation. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance for cutting steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. The centercutting capability allows the tool to plunge directly into the workpiece when the application calls for it.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• WXL coating for improved wear resistance and heat management
• 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility
• 2-flute geometry suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling

Compatibility

Designed for use with collet systems and tool holders accepting a 0.2362-inch shank diameter on CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or collet is de-energized before inserting or removing the end mill. Use a calibrated torque wrench when tightening collet nuts to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool to confirm proper concentricity before beginning the cut.
