Osg 8549760 Square End Mill 6mm 6 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 8549760 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. This single-end tool features a 6mm mill diameter, 6-flute geometry, and a 43-degree helix angle with DUROREY finish coating. The high flute count and steep helix promote smooth chip evacuation and improved surface finish on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 60mm overall length with a 15mm length of cut, this end mill suits shallow-to-moderate depth milling passes. It is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry, and runs right-hand cut with right-hand flute orientation. Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials.

This end mill is suited for finish milling, slotting, profiling, and light ramping in CNC machining centers and manual mills. The 6mm shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found in production and job shop environments. The DUROREY finish enhances tool life when cutting alloy steels, stainless steels, and hardened materials. Its compact geometry makes it well suited for detailed contouring work and tight-tolerance slots where surface quality is critical.

Key Features

• 6-flute design supports higher feed rates and improved surface finish compared to lower flute counts
• 43-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• DUROREY finish coating for extended wear resistance in demanding materials
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling
• Solid carbide construction provides superior rigidity over cobalt or HSS alternatives
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard CNC and manual mill setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 6mm ER collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a solid carbide square end mill with a 6mm shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the tool. Ensure the collet or tool holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank to the recommended insertion depth. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tool installation and before initiating a cutting program.
