Osg 3182630 Square End Mill 0.1181 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182630 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metal cutting and machining applications. It features a 0.1181-inch (3 mm) cutting diameter, a 0.4724-inch (12 mm) length of cut, and a 0.2362-inch (6 mm) shank diameter. The 40-degree helix angle and two-flute geometry support efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. OSG WXL coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. This end mill is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry. It is a single-end tool with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction, belonging to OSG Series 3723.

This end mill is suited for finish and semi-finish milling operations on machining centers and CNC mills. The small diameter makes it appropriate for slot milling, profiling, and detail work in die and mold work, aerospace components, and precision mechanical parts. The micrograin carbide substrate supports cutting in hardened steels, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys. It is typically installed and used by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shop, production, or tool room environments.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials
• WXL coating for extended tool life and improved heat resistance
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry hole
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute, standard orientation for CNC and manual mills
• Two-flute configuration balances chip clearance and cutting edge strength at small diameters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in OSG Series 3723, compatible with standard tool holders accepting a 0.2362-inch (6 mm) shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed by machinists into collet chucks, end mill holders, or shrink-fit tooling sized for a 6 mm shank. Confirm runout and holder concentricity before use, as small-diameter carbide tools are sensitive to lateral deflection. Power down the spindle and follow lockout procedures before changing tooling. Refer to OSG cutting data recommendations and applicable shop standards for feeds, speeds, and depth of cut for the specific workpiece material.
