Osg 3182640 Square End Mill 0.1575 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182640 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.1575-inch cutting diameter and a 0.6299-inch length of cut, this tool delivers consistent chip evacuation and surface finish in tight-tolerance work. The 2-flute geometry with a 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient cutting action, while the micrograin carbide substrate provides the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding materials. The WXL coating adds lubricity and heat resistance, extending tool life in interrupted cuts and high-speed passes. Machining professionals and CNC operators install this tool in standard end mill holders or collet chucks.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations in a machine shop or production environment. Its 0.2362-inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems, and the right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction makes it compatible with conventional CNC machining center spindle configurations. The centercutting design allows plunge entry, giving operators flexibility in programming toolpaths. It is appropriate for both prototype and production runs where close tolerances and fine surface finish are priorities.

Key Features

• 2-flute, right-hand cut geometry with right-hand flute direction
• 40-degree helix angle for smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance
• WXL coating for improved heat resistance and extended tool life
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in the OSG Series 3723 product line, compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 0.2362-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machining professional familiar with CNC or manual milling equipment. Secure the shank fully in a clean, burr-free collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures, including guarding and chip containment, when operating rotating cutting tools.
