Osg VGM6-0002 Corner Radius End Mill 1/4 in 6 Flute

Product Description

The OSG VGM6-0002 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision finishing in demanding machining environments. It features a 1/4 inch cutting diameter, 0.02 inch corner radius, and six flutes arranged in a right-hand spiral with close pitch and variable index geometry. The EXO coating provides enhanced wear resistance and heat management at the cutting edge. Overall length is 2 inches with a 3/8 inch length of cut. This tool is intended for use in CNC machining centers and milling applications where edge integrity and surface finish consistency are required.

The VGM6-0002 is suited for finishing passes on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The short flute length and solid carbide construction make it appropriate for applications requiring rigidity and reduced deflection. It mounts in a standard straight-cylindrical toolholder accepting a 1/4 inch shank. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments will find it well matched to tight-tolerance finishing work on ferrous and exotic alloy workpieces.

Key Features

• Six-flute design with variable index for reduced harmonics and improved surface finish
• EXO coating for extended tool life in steel, stainless steel, and hard materials
• 0.02 inch corner radius protects the cutting edge and improves workpiece corner geometry
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral with medium helix style
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity suited to short-reach finishing operations
• Single-end configuration with straight-cylindrical shank for direct toolholder mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-bore toolholders accepting a 1/4 inch shank diameter. Suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials per OSG Series VGM6 application guidelines. Not center-cutting; not intended for plunge entry.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully within the toolholder to the recommended gauge line before torquing the retention mechanism. Verify runout with a dial indicator before starting a cut. This tool is not center-cutting and must not be used for direct plunge operations; use a ramping or helical entry strategy where axial entry is required.
