Osg 36041411 Square End Mill 0.5 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 36041411 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in milling operations. Built on OSG Series 3604, it features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 4-flute spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle. The WXL coating enhances wear resistance and tool life across a range of workpiece materials. Micrograin carbide construction provides the rigidity and edge retention required for demanding cuts. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and tooling professionals on CNC and manual milling equipment.

The 36041411 is suited for slot milling, peripheral milling, and profiling applications in shop and production environments. The centercutting design allows plunge entry, expanding its versatility in contouring and pocketing operations. With a 0.5 inch shank diameter and 3 inch overall length, it fits standard ER and end mill holders used in vertical machining centers and knee mills. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is the standard orientation for conventional and climb milling on most CNC platforms.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended edge life
• WXL finish for enhanced wear resistance and reduced built-up edge
• 4 spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute — standard CNC orientation
• Regular length profile with 0.5 inch shank matches common toolholder inventories

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 0.5 inch end mill holders, ER collet chucks, and shrink-fit toolholders on CNC vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines accepting a 0.5 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth in the holder and torque retention screws or collet nuts per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a test indicator before commencing a cut.
