Osg 482-1000 Square End Mill 1 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 482-1000 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for demanding cuts. The tool measures 1 inch in cutting diameter with a 3 inch length of cut and a 6 inch overall length, making it well suited for extended-reach operations where standard-length end mills fall short. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and stable cutting forces across a range of materials. This end mill is centercutting, allowing plunge entry directly into a workpiece without a pre-drilled hole.

The OSG 482-1000 is intended for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual knee mills handling ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its extra-long length type makes it a practical choice when machining deep pockets, tall workpiece features, or fixturing situations where clearance is limited. Licensed machinists and toolroom professionals running production or prototype work will find the two-flute geometry beneficial for applications where chip clearance and feed rate flexibility are priorities.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• 30-degree spiral flute helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle operation
• Extra-long series 482 geometry with 6 inch OAL for extended-reach applications
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids or in applications where coating is not required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 1 inch collet or end mill holders on CNC machining centers and conventional milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized end mill holder or collet to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, as carbide end mills are brittle and should not be used if edge integrity is compromised.
