Osg 482-4375 Square End Mill 7/16 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 482-4375 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Measuring 7/16 inches in diameter with a 3-inch length of cut and 6-inch overall length, this tool falls into the extra-long category, giving machinists extended reach for deep-pocket and side-wall milling. The 2-flute configuration and 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation, while the micrograin carbide substrate delivers wear resistance and edge retention across a range of workpiece materials. The uncoated finish makes this end mill suitable for applications where coating buildup or thermal sensitivity is a concern. Installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shop and production environments.

This end mill is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous milling operations requiring extended reach. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, making it practical for slot milling, pocket roughing, and profile work. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration match standard spindle rotation on vertical and horizontal machining centers. Its extra-long overall length of 6 inches addresses setups where standard-length end mills cannot reach the full depth of the workpiece feature.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin substrate for improved rigidity and edge retention
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Extra-long 6-inch OAL provides extended reach for deep-cavity and long-reach setups
• 2-flute geometry suits slot milling and applications requiring larger chip gullets
• Uncoated finish suitable for applications where specific coating compatibility is required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill compatible with standard 7/16-inch tool holders, collets, and shrink-fit chucks used on vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, and CNC routers accepting straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in an e-stop or locked-out state per applicable machine safety procedures. Ensure the shank is clean and the collet or tool holder is free of chips or debris before seating the tool. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and degrades surface finish. Refer to the tool manufacturer cutting data and applicable shop safety protocols when establishing speeds and feeds.
