Osg 452-1562 Square End Mill 0.1563 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 452-1562 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 0.1563-inch cutting diameter, a 0.5625-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With 2 flutes and a right-hand spiral flute configuration, this end mill is built for right-hand cut operations. The micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding cutting conditions. It ships bright and uncoated, ready for use without additional surface treatment. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals, it is appropriate for both production and prototype work.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills where a small-diameter, short-length-of-cut tool is required. The 0.1875-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders sized for 3/16-inch shanks. Its regular-length geometry makes it a practical choice for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The centercutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without a pre-drilled pilot hole.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill in the OSG Series 452, compatible with standard 3/16-inch shank collets and tool holders used in CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the tool holder manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use. Follow all applicable machine guarding and PPE requirements when operating milling equipment.
