It features a 0.250 inch mill diameter, a 0.015 inch corner radius, and 5 flutes with a variable index geometry that reduces harmonics and chatter during cutting. The tool carries OSG EXO coating for extended wear resistance and thermal protection. With a 0.500 inch length of cut and 2.500 inch overall length, this single-end mill is suited for both roughing and finishing operations. It is installed in a standard straight-cylindrical toolholder and is appropriate for use by machinists and CNC operators working in precision manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is engineered for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The short-length flute configuration and high helix style support chip evacuation and surface finish quality in ferrous and difficult-to-machine workpiece materials. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling setups. It is part of OSG series VGM5, which targets high-efficiency milling in shops running tough alloys and hardened steels where tool life and edge stability are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.015 inch corner radius reduces stress concentrations at the cutting edge and extends tool life in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute variable index design minimizes chatter and supports higher feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXO coating provides wear resistance and heat protection for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flutes with high helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers rigidity and dimensional stability at elevated cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard straight-cylindrical toolholders accepting a 0.250 inch shank diameter.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or spindle lock is engaged before inserting or removing the end mill from the toolholder. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide tooling. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque specifications for set screws or collet nuts — do not overtighten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: High\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: 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 Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0000 to -0.0011 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: h6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 inches L x 0.38 inches W x 0.38 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VGM5\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: VGM5-0053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728981066034,"sku":"VGM5-0053","price":57.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6dde139d5fcbd19b4bd964c6fba7df12_32460a92-4b1f-4465-81d6-c6bb291fc37b.jpg?v=1788698394","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm5-0053-corner-radius-end-mill-0-25-in-5-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
