Built on the VGM5-LN series platform, it features a 3\/8 inch diameter cutting head with five helical flutes and a 40-degree helix angle. The variable index flute geometry reduces harmonic vibration during high-speed cuts, improving surface finish and tool life. An EXO coating adds thermal and wear resistance, making this end mill well-suited for demanding ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and edge retention required for consistent performance in production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals in CNC milling centers, vertical mills, and machining cells requiring tight tolerances and fine surface finishes. The 15\/32 inch length of cut and 4 inch overall length make it appropriate for standard-depth slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in ER collet chucks, end mill holders, or shrink-fit tooling systems. It is configured as a single-end, right-hand cutting, right-hand flute tool suitable for conventional and climb milling strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEXO coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFive helical flutes with variable index geometry to reduce vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree helix angle optimized for chip evacuation and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge entry into workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended reach configuration for accessing deeper features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option within the OSG VGM5-LN series, compatible with any 3\/8 inch straight-shank collet or end mill holder system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder and torque the retention mechanism per the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and confirm runout is within acceptable limits before engaging the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/32 inch (0.4688 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\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\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\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\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VGM5-LN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches L x 0.56 inches W x 0.56 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: VGM5-1059\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731977601330,"sku":"VGM5-1059","price":75.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4acc9e067a735f8ddf33acb3575bf7a5_3ab1cf25-2b15-4d7a-9934-d5b9d8b32695.jpg?v=1788737519","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm5-1059-square-end-mill-3-8-in-5-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
