Osg 402-2362 Square End Mill 0.2362 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 402-2362 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Measuring 0.2362 inches in diameter with a 0.748-inch length of cut, this two-flute tool operates with a 30-degree helix angle and spiral flute geometry. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for tight-tolerance work in production and maintenance machining environments. The uncoated finish makes it well suited for applications where coating buildup or adhesion could be a concern, such as aluminum or soft metals. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill fits residential shop, tool room, and production floor CNC milling applications where a small-diameter, center-cutting tool is needed. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece, expanding its use to slot milling, pocket milling, and ramping operations. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration matches standard spindle rotation on vertical machining centers and benchtop CNC mills. It is part of the OSG Series 402 regular-length line.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for superior edge retention and rigidity at small diameters
• 0.2362-inch (6.00 mm) mill diameter with matching 6.00 mm shank diameter for direct collet fitment
• 0.748-inch length of cut handles slot depths within the 0.700 to 0.800-inch range
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting geometry enables direct plunge entry for pocket and slot operations
• Uncoated surface suitable for aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous or soft ferrous materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tooling for standard ER collet systems and milling chucks accepting a 6.00 mm shank diameter on CNC vertical machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists or CNC setup technicians into a compatible collet or end mill holder. Always ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or lockout state before changing tooling. Verify collet bore size matches the 6.00 mm shank before tightening to manufacturer torque specifications for the holder being used. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use, as micrograin carbide tools can sustain edge damage if dropped or improperly stored.
