Built from micrograin carbide and finished with OSG EXO coating, this tool delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in difficult-to-machine materials. The 1\/8 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 3\/16 inch length of cut and a 40-degree helical flute geometry, producing smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. Variable index spacing minimizes chatter and vibration during high-speed passes. Centercutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. This tool is specified and used by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators working with precision components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VGM5-0001 is suited for slot milling, peripheral milling, and plunge operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tight tolerances and fine surface finish are required. The stub-length configuration provides added rigidity, making it effective for high-feed applications and work requiring minimal deflection in short-reach setups. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation follows standard CNC and manual mill conventions. This tool fits directly into standard 1\/8 inch straight-bore collets and ER collet systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-flute design increases feed rate capability compared to standard 2- or 4-flute end mills\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEXO coating provides oxidation resistance and hardness for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate supports sharp edge retention in fine-pitch work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing reduces harmonic vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry enables direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement in the OSG VGM5 series.

Secure the shank in a clean, properly sized collet or tool holder and torque the collet nut according to the holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use. Ensure spindle speed and feed rate are set per the tool manufacturer recommendations for the workpiece material before engaging the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\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\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VGM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: VGM5-0001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51746874622258,"sku":"VGM5-0001","price":34.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6dde139d5fcbd19b4bd964c6fba7df12_be76e754-a2b2-4a32-a295-2df809a33af4.jpg?v=1788874237","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm5-0001-square-end-mill-1-8-in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
