Osg 3182636 Square End Mill 0.1417 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182636 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 0.1417-inch (3.6 mm) mill diameter, a 0.5669-inch (14.4 mm) length of cut, and a 0.2362-inch (6.0 mm) shank diameter. The 40-degree helix angle and WXL coating work together to improve chip evacuation and extend tool life in demanding cutting conditions. With 2 flutes and a right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration, this end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and finishing passes where a small-diameter tool is required. It is a centercutting design, allowing plunge entry into workpieces. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals select this tool for close-tolerance work in CNC machining centers.

The OSG 3182636 belongs to OSG Series 3723 and is built for small-diameter milling applications in tool rooms, production shops, and precision manufacturing environments. Its micrograin carbide construction supports high-speed cutting in materials ranging from aluminum and brass to hardened steels. The 50 mm (approximately 1.97 inches) overall length suits standard collet and end-mill holder setups on vertical and horizontal machining centers. This tool is typically selected for detailed contouring, cavity work, and finishing operations where dimensional accuracy is critical.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• WXL coating improves surface hardness and reduces friction for extended tool life
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard CNC spindle use
• 2-flute geometry optimized for small-diameter slotting and profiling passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in OSG Series 3723, compatible with standard collet chucks and end-mill holders accepting a 0.2362-inch (6.0 mm) shank diameter on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end-mill holder and torque the retention nut to the tool-holder specification before beginning any cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as small-diameter carbide end mills are sensitive to improper clamping and runout.
