Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers consistent edge retention and dimensional accuracy across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool features a 1\/2 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length with a 1\/2 inch shank. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. Single-end construction keeps the tool compact and straightforward to index in standard toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators handling production or job-shop work are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OSG 462-5001 is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations in machining centers and manual milling machines. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without a pre-drilled pilot hole, expanding setup flexibility. With right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flutes, it is compatible with standard spindle rotation on conventional vertical and horizontal mills. The Series 462 designation places it in OSG general-purpose solid carbide end mill lineup, appropriate for shops running aluminum, steel, stainless, and cast iron at moderate to high surface footage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design enables direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute configuration provides larger chip gullets, ideal for slotting and softer materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute for use with standard spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide end mill for use in standard 1\/2 inch collets, end mill holders, and hydraulic or shrink-fit toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists and CNC setup technicians familiar with rotating cutting tool protocols. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before loading or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and torque the retention mechanism to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (1.0000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\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\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 462\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 462-5001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51727465644338,"sku":"462-5001","price":113.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a29afbfe3f53a1e3cac4abab1f8fd01a.jpg?v=1788678224","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-462-5001-square-end-mill-1-2-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
