Osg 3182645 Square End Mill 0.1772 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 3182645 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.1772-inch cutting diameter and a 0.7087-inch length of cut, this tool is built for controlled material removal in tight-tolerance applications. The 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces, while the WXL coating extends tool life in demanding materials. The micrograin carbide substrate provides the hardness and wear resistance required for high-performance milling. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments.

This end mill suits small-diameter milling work in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, and similar materials where a 0.1772-inch tool path is required. The 0.2362-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders at that bore size. With a 55 mm overall length and a 40-degree right-hand helix, it is appropriate for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations on vertical and horizontal machining centers. It is a single-end, right-hand cut tool from OSG Series 3723.

Key Features

• 0.1772-inch (4.5 mm) cutting diameter for small-feature milling
• 0.7087-inch (18 mm) length of cut for adequate reach in shallow-to-medium depth passes
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• WXL coating provides enhanced wear resistance and extended tool life
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for hardness and dimensional stability
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into workpiece

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with collet systems or tool holders accepting a 0.2362-inch (6 mm) shank diameter. Part of OSG Series 3723.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the recommended grip length before tightening. Verify spindle runout is within acceptable tolerance before beginning a cut, as small-diameter carbide end mills are sensitive to runout-induced breakage. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut when programming this tool.
