Osg 36100511 Ball End Mill 0.1875 in 2 Flute Carbide Wxl

Product Description

The OSG 36100511 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in demanding ferrous and hard material applications. Part of the OSG Series 3610 Exocarb WXL line, this single-end mill features a 0.1875-inch diameter, a 2-flute helical configuration, and a proprietary WXL PVD coating engineered for rigidity and consistent performance across a wide range of workpiece materials. The ultra-fine micrograin carbide substrate supports both roughing and finishing operations without tool changes. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard. This tool is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production and job shop environments.

The 36100511 is intended for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and hard materials as primary workpiece materials, with secondary capability in non-ferrous metals and superalloys including titanium. The standard-length 3-inch overall length and 0.25-inch straight-cylindrical shank make it compatible with common collet and end mill holders found on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The 0.1875-inch length of cut and 0.0938-inch nose radius are suited for contour milling, cavity work, and profiling passes where ball-nose geometry is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with ultra-fine micrograin substrate for hardness and wear resistance
• WXL PVD coating provides thermal protection and reduces friction in hard milling applications
• 2-flute helical design with 30-degree helix angle supports chip evacuation in both roughing and finishing passes
• Ball-nose geometry with 0.0938-inch nose radius for contour and 3D profiling work
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction
• No coolant-through, no chipbreaker, no variable helix — straightforward tool suitable for standard setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hard materials, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. Fits standard 0.25-inch collet or end mill holder systems.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Torque the collet nut or set screw per the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates wear on small-diameter carbide end mills.
