Osg 36210014 Square End Mill 0.5in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 36210014 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, 1.5 inch length of cut, and 3.5 inch overall length, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 2-flute geometry and 35-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The WXL coating extends tool life by reducing heat buildup and improving wear resistance. This end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, production facilities, and toolroom environments.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills where a standard 0.5 inch shank tool holder is used. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are the most common configuration for general-purpose machining. The centercutting capability allows the tool to plunge directly into workpieces, making it effective for pocket milling as well as contour work. The micrograin carbide substrate supports higher surface footage and longer tool life compared to standard carbide grades.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch cutting diameter with matching 0.5 inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder fitment
• 1.5 inch length of cut accommodates depths within the 1.5 to 2.0 inch LOC range typical for this class
• 35-degree helix angle for improved chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• WXL coating for enhanced heat resistance and extended tool life
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance at higher feed rates

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 0.5 inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and shrink-fit tooling systems on CNC vertical machining centers and manual milling machines accepting right-hand cut tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. The tool must be seated fully and evenly in a clean, undamaged tool holder before tightening to prevent runout. Spindle and axis motion must be fully stopped and the machine placed in an E-stop or locked-out state before changing tooling. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended surface footage or chip load for the workpiece material and coating type.
