It features a 3\/8-inch diameter, a 1-inch length of cut, and a 0.0300-inch corner radius that reduces stress concentrations at part corners and extends tool life in finish passes. The three-flute, right-hand cutting geometry with variable helix and variable index angles reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, improving surface finish quality. This tool ships uncoated (bright finish) and is intended for single-end use by machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for finishing cuts in aluminum and aluminum casting on CNC machining centers and manual mills where tight tolerances and clean corner geometry are required. The centercutting design allows for plunge entry, adding flexibility to its application range. Its straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance fits standard end mill holders and collet chucks. The VGM3-AL series is purpose-built for non-ferrous light alloy work, making it a practical choice for aerospace, automotive, and general precision machining operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in aluminum finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.0300-inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and stress at workpiece corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix and variable index geometry dampens vibration and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design enables direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for aluminum and non-ferrous alloy cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand flute direction and right-hand cut for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in aluminum and aluminum casting applications as part of the OSG VGM3-AL series.

Ensure the collet or end mill holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank to maintain runout tolerances. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material and machine setup. Inspect the corner radius and cutting edges for chipping before each use, as carbide tools are brittle and sensitive to interrupted cuts or improper fixturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0300 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 to 43 degrees (variable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Corner Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum; Aluminum Casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VGM3-AL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 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: VGM3-0022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735323869490,"sku":"VGM3-0022","price":90.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/109b59586430a61136c42672a3d7384f_3bbddc69-1442-4c38-9b80-101c9a83d871.jpg?v=1788771887","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm3-0022-corner-radius-end-mill-3-8-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
