Osg 36200012 Square End Mill 3/8 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 36200012 is a square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide and finished with OSG WXL coating, this tool delivers extended wear resistance and thermal protection in demanding cutting environments. The 2-flute geometry paired with a 30-degree right-hand helix provides efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With a 0.375 inch cutting diameter, 0.75 inch length of cut, and 2.75 inch overall length, this end mill fits standard toolholders used in vertical machining centers and manual mills. It is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry into workpiece material.

This end mill is suited for slot milling, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are standard for conventional CNC and manual milling setups. The 0.375 inch shank diameter fits ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and hydraulic toolholders in that bore size. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators in job shops, aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high hardness and edge retention
• WXL coating for improved wear resistance and heat management
• 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling
• 2-flute geometry suited for slot cutting and profiling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute — standard CNC-compatible orientation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 3/8 inch shank square end mill applications using ER collet systems or end mill holders with 0.375 inch bore capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Tool runout should be verified with a dial indicator after seating the end mill in the holder. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications when tightening collet nuts or set screws — do not use values not specified for your particular holder.
