With a 3\/16-inch cutting diameter and 5 flutes, this single-end tool is built from micrograin carbide substrate and coated with OSG EXO finish for extended tool life and improved chip evacuation. The 40-degree helical flute geometry reduces cutting forces and promotes smooth material removal. At 2.25 inches overall length with a 0.75-inch length of cut, the VGM5-0035 suits precision work in confined areas. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this tool in CNC machining centers and milling machines for ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VGM5-0035 belongs to the OSG VGM5 series, which uses a variable index design to suppress chatter and vibration during aggressive cuts. The 3\/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders. This tool is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling on small-diameter features in production and prototype environments. Its centercutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole, adding flexibility to complex toolpath strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXO coating extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute, 40-degree helical geometry for high material removal rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing reduces harmonic chatter during cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement tool within the OSG VGM5 series, compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3\/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder to the minimum insertion depth recommended by the holder manufacturer to avoid pullout under load. Verify spindle speed and feed rate settings against OSG cutting data for the VGM5 series before starting the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches (0.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\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: Single, Square\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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide, Micrograin Grade\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\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches L x 0.28 inches W x 0.28 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\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: VGM5-0035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730872434994,"sku":"VGM5-0035","price":55.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6dde139d5fcbd19b4bd964c6fba7df12_3eb97e22-6442-4550-a0c2-1e68e95731f3.jpg?v=1788724190","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm5-0035-square-end-mill-3-16-in-5-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
