Osg 36210005 Square End Mill 0.125in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 36210005 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and other hard materials. It features a 0.125-inch cutting diameter, a 0.375-inch length of cut, and a 2-inch overall length. The 35-degree helix angle and micrograin carbide substrate support aggressive material removal while maintaining edge integrity. The WXL coating provides added wear resistance and heat reduction at the cutting zone. This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators in job shop, production, and tool-and-die environments.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and light pocketing operations where a 1/8-inch tool diameter is required. The 2-flute geometry provides good chip clearance, making it appropriate for softer metals and materials where chip evacuation is a priority. The 0.125-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, allowing direct installation into standard collet chucks and end mill holders sized for 1/8-inch tooling. It is a single-end tool with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction.

Key Features

• 0.125-inch cutting diameter with 0.375-inch length of cut for precise small-diameter milling
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and edge retention in demanding cuts
• WXL coating reduces wear and extends tool life in abrasive materials
• 35-degree helix angle balances cutting action and chip evacuation
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpieces
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction, standard CNC spindle orientation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 1/8-inch shank diameter. Suitable for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines configured for small-diameter carbide tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and the control in a safe state. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the holder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or wear before each use. Carbide tooling is brittle and should not be used in setups with excessive overhang or unsupported workpiece conditions.
