Osg 424-1562 Square End Mill 0.1563 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 424-1562 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and other hard materials. With a 0.1563 inch cutting diameter and 4-flute configuration, this tool delivers clean, accurate cuts in finish and semi-finish applications. The micrograin carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding cutting conditions. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for general-purpose milling where coating is not required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in production and toolroom environments are the primary users of this end mill.

The 424-1562 is built for stub-length applications where rigidity is critical. The 0.3125 inch length of cut and 0.1875 inch shank diameter make it appropriate for tight-tolerance slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling on CNC machining centers and manual mills. It is sized for work on smaller features and components where a longer reach tool would introduce deflection. The right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute geometry is the standard configuration for conventional and climb milling on most CNC setups.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and extended tool life
• 4-flute design for improved surface finish and feed rate capability
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Stub-length geometry maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling applications
• Right-hand cut with spiral flute for standard CNC and manual mill use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard stub-length square end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 0.1875 inch shank diameter collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or tool holder and torque the retention mechanism per the machine tool manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, particularly for tight-tolerance work.
