Built on the VGM5 series platform, this single-end tool features a 1\/8 inch cutting diameter, a 1\/4 inch length of cut, and five helical flutes with a 40-degree helix angle. The variable index flute geometry reduces harmonic chatter during cuts, improving surface finish and tool life. An EXO coating provides enhanced lubricity and heat resistance, making this end mill well suited for extended runs in harder workpiece materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of tool in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for precision milling operations where tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are required. The stub-length configuration and 1\/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank make it appropriate for applications with limited clearance or where rigidity is critical to part quality. Right-hand cutting direction suits standard CNC spindle configurations. It is applicable to slotting, profiling, and contouring operations in a shop or production environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute helical design with variable index for chatter reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXO coating for improved heat resistance and tool longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle optimized for smooth chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting capability allows plunge entry into workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub-length body with straight-cylindrical shank for maximum setup rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide end mill compatible with CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1\/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or toolroom professional using an appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for the 1\/8 inch shank diameter. Verify tool runout with a dial indicator before starting a production run. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the cut. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed for the specific workpiece material being machined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 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\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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End, Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: VGM5-0003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752463827250,"sku":"VGM5-0003","price":35.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6dde139d5fcbd19b4bd964c6fba7df12_c0bd637c-0000-4d2c-8c3f-a43d7652a700.jpg?v=1788928293","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm5-0003-square-end-mill-1-8-in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
