Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers consistent edge strength and wear resistance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Key dimensions include a 0.5 inch mill diameter, a 0.625 inch length of cut, a 0.5 inch shank diameter, and a 3 inch overall length. The 4-flute, 30-degree spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting performance. This is a stub-length end mill, offering rigidity in tight-clearance setups. It is uncoated and not centercutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for general-purpose milling applications in production machine shops, toolrooms, and CNC machining centers. The stub-length profile makes it appropriate for face milling, slotting, and profiling operations where tool overhang must be minimized. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional CNC spindle setups. Machinists and CNC operators working with aluminum, steel, stainless, and similar workpiece materials will find this tool a practical fit for medium-duty finishing and semi-finish passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for edge retention and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for balanced chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub-length body improves rigidity and reduces deflection in short-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids or as a base for aftermarket coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-centercutting geometry — not designed for plunge entry cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 0.5 inch collet or end mill holder setups on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the spindle fully stopped and machine power isolated per shop safety protocols. Seat the 0.5 inch shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use. Because this tool is not centercutting, do not program plunge moves directly into the workpiece — use ramping or helical entry strategies instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 424\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.24 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 424-5000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728131555634,"sku":"424-5000","price":109.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/557120e86232594587af17addc484a22.jpg?v=1788688515","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-424-5000-square-end-mill-0-5-in-4-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
