Osg VG441-5006 Square End Mill 0.5in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG VG441-5006 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 3 inch length of cut, and a 5 inch overall length, making it well-suited for deep-reach slotting, side milling, and profiling. The four-flute geometry combined with a 35-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action. A TiAlN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds. This end mill is a single-end design with a 0.5 inch straight shank and is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals operating CNC machining centers or manual mills.

The VG441-5006 belongs to OSG Series VG441, a line engineered for general-purpose and high-performance milling. It is appropriate for use in production machining environments where consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy are required. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration make it compatible with standard spindle rotation on most vertical and horizontal machining centers. The variable index feature helps reduce harmonic vibration during extended cuts, which is particularly useful in long-reach or deep-pocket applications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating for high-temperature performance and extended tool life
• 35-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Variable index spacing minimizes chatter and vibration during deep cuts
• 4-flute design balances material removal rate with surface finish quality
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.5 inch straight shank toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholder torque and runout procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before inserting or removing the end mill. Verify toolholder collet or chuck cleanliness to minimize runout. Consult the machine tool manufacturer specifications and applicable shop safety standards when establishing speeds and feeds for this tool.
