Osg 36041311 Square End Mill 7/16 Inch 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 36041311 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. Built on OSG's Series 3604 platform with a WXL finish, it delivers consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 4-flute spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cuts. At 7/16 inch in diameter with a 1 inch length of cut, this end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is designed for use in general-purpose milling operations across job shops, tool rooms, and production environments. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into workpiece material without pre-drilling. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional spindle setups. The regular-length body and matched 7/16 inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders commonly used in vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• WXL coating finish for improved tool life in a range of work materials
• 4 spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• Matched shank and cutter diameter at 7/16 inch for balanced tool holding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification replacement and standard-production end mill for use with 7/16 inch collet chucks and end mill holders in vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended gauge depth and torque the retention nut per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
