Osg 3182626 Square End Mill 0.1024 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182626 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.1024-inch (2.6 mm) cutting diameter and a 0.4094-inch (10.4 mm) length of cut, this tool is built for tight-tolerance work in small-diameter applications. The 40-degree helix angle and micrograin carbide construction promote efficient chip evacuation and edge stability. The WXL coating adds wear resistance and reduces friction at the cutting edge. This end mill is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms.

This end mill is suited for milling slots, profiles, and pockets in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where small-diameter, high-precision cutting is required. The 0.1575-inch (4.0 mm) shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and tool holders in that size range. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry make it compatible with conventional CNC milling setups. It is a single-end tool from OSG Series 3723, targeting applications where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention in demanding cuts
• WXL coating provides enhanced wear resistance and reduced heat buildup
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut with right-hand flute geometry for standard CNC milling spindles
• 2-flute configuration optimized for small-diameter slot and profile milling

Compatibility

Designed as a small-diameter solid carbide square end mill for use with standard collet systems and tool holders accepting a 0.1575-inch shank diameter, consistent with OSG Series 3723 tooling.

Installation Notes

This end mill should be installed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator using a properly sized collet or tool holder that matches the 0.1575-inch shank diameter. Ensure the spindle and machine are powered down and fully stopped before changing tooling. Use a torque wrench appropriate for the collet system per the machine or tooling manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as small-diameter carbide tools are brittle and sensitive to improper handling or excessive runout.
