Osg VGM5-0262 Corner Radius End Mill 1in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The OSG VGM5-0262 is a single-end corner radius end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding material applications. Built from solid carbide with an EXO coating, it features a 1 inch cutting diameter, a 2 inch length of cut, and a 0.25 inch corner radius across 5 flutes. The variable index geometry helps reduce chatter and improve surface finish during both roughing and finishing passes. This tool is suited for machinists and toolroom professionals operating CNC machining centers where consistent performance in hard and abrasive materials is required.

The VGM5-0262 is engineered for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. It fits toolholders with a 1 inch straight-cylindrical shank and is well suited for short-reach milling operations in vertical and horizontal machining centers. The high helix design promotes efficient chip evacuation, making it a practical choice for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in production environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• EXO coating improves heat and wear resistance for extended tool life
• 5-flute variable index design reduces harmonic vibration and chatter
• 0.25 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• Center-cutting capable for plunge and ramp entry operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for standard CNC toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders accepting a 1 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials as primary workpiece materials (material codes P, M, K, S, H). Part of the OSG VGM5 series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer is disabled before installing or removing the end mill. Verify shank runout and toolholder clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material being machined.
