With a 1\/4 inch cutting diameter, 1-1\/8 inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle, it delivers efficient chip evacuation and consistent edge geometry across a range of conventional and CNC milling applications. The micrograin carbide substrate provides the hardness and rigidity needed for demanding cuts. Centercutting geometry allows both plunge and peripheral milling. This is a right-hand cut, right-hand flute tool in an uncoated finish, making it well suited for general-purpose machining where coating-induced dimensional buildup is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 462-2500 is built for shop machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and CNC operators working in job shop or production environments. Its long-length body, with a 3 inch overall length and standard 1\/4 inch shank, fits common collet chucks and end mill holders on vertical machining centers and manual knee mills. The 2-flute configuration is especially practical for slotting and profiling softer metals or materials where chip clearance is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree spiral flute helix for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design enables plunge milling without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling and regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-length series 462 body for extended reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit end mill for 1\/4 inch collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders used in standard vertical machining centers and manual mills requiring a 1\/4 inch shank square end mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked state before changing tooling. Verify collet or holder runout before use, as excessive runout will reduce tool life and surface finish quality. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and applicable shop safety guidelines when setting tool length offsets and feed and speed parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.125 inches (1-1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin Grade\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 462\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: 462-2500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752127725874,"sku":"462-2500","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e28f48519cfcbb8e21f2d2e4a35f74fe.jpg?v=1788926049","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-462-2500-square-end-mill-1-4-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
