Built on OSG's VGM5 series platform, this single-end tool features a 5\/16-inch cutting diameter, five helical flutes, and a 40-degree helix angle with variable index spacing. The EXO coating provides enhanced wear resistance and heat dissipation, extending tool life in difficult materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals select this end mill for finish milling, profiling, and slotting where surface finish and tool longevity are critical. The micrograin carbide substrate supports sharp, consistent edges throughout the tool's service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where a stub-length, 5\/16-inch tooling profile is required. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard collets and end mill holders. Applications include profiling, contouring, and light slotting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The variable index geometry helps reduce harmonic chatter during aggressive cuts, making it a practical choice for finishing passes on hardened steels, stainless alloys, and similar materials. It is a single-end tool and is not designed to be reground to a double-end configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive helical flutes with variable index geometry reduce vibration and chatter during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXO coating increases surface hardness and thermal resistance for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate delivers edge sharpness and rigidity in a stub-length profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge milling as well as peripheral and slot cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual milling spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit end mill for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 5\/16-inch straight cylindrical shank with standard collet or end mill holder tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with end mill holder torque procedures and runout verification. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended gauge-line depth and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the tool's rated depth of cut for the material being machined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 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 Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\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\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\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\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXO\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VGM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches x 0.47 inches x 0.47 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: VGM5-0084\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728530407730,"sku":"VGM5-0084","price":77.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6dde139d5fcbd19b4bd964c6fba7df12_8aec8f24-c271-475a-b324-aec4816a0b2b.jpg?v=1788692809","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm5-0084-square-end-mill-5-16-in-5-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
