Osg 36210001 Square End Mill 1/16 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 36210001 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.0625 inch (1/16 inch) cutting diameter and a 0.1875 inch length of cut, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in tight geometries. The 35-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. OSG's WXL coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working with mills, machining centers, and manual knee mills.

This end mill is suited for small-feature milling applications where precision and tool rigidity are critical. The 0.125 inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet systems and small-bore tool holders commonly found in CNC machining centers and benchtop mills. The 2 inch overall length keeps the tool stiff enough for accurate cuts while the single-end, center-cutting design allows plunge entry. Typical applications include die and mold work, prototype machining, and fine-feature part production in shops handling tight-tolerance components.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for rigidity and extended tool life in hard materials
• WXL coating for improved wear resistance and heat management
• 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Center-cutting capable, allowing direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• 2-flute geometry optimized for slot milling and finishing passes in smaller diameters

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard ER collet chucks and tool holders accepting a 0.125 inch shank diameter, compatible with CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual milling machines configured for right-hand cutting tools.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or tool holder to the recommended engagement depth to prevent pullout during cutting. Verify spindle rotation direction matches the right-hand cut specification before starting the machine.
