Built on the VGM6 series platform, it features a 0.25-inch mill diameter, a 1-inch length of cut, and a 3-inch overall length. The 37-degree helix angle and variable index flute spacing work together to reduce chatter and improve chip evacuation at higher feed rates. An EXO coating provides enhanced wear resistance and thermal protection. This tool is installed and operated by CNC machinists and toolroom professionals working on milling machines and machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VGM6-0013 is suited for milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a fine finish and extended tool life are priorities. Its right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle configurations. The micrograin carbide substrate supports higher cutting speeds and feeds compared to standard carbide grades. The straight-cylindrical shank fits conventional ER collets and end mill holders commonly found in vertical and horizontal machining centers used in production and job shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-flute design with variable index spacing reduces harmonic vibration during cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and smooth surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXO coating improves wear resistance and extends tool life in abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate supports elevated cutting speeds and feeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration fits standard machine spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank accepts standard ER collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for applications requiring a 0.25-inch diameter, 6-flute square end mill with a straight-cylindrical shank in the OSG VGM6 series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Verify spindle runout and holder cleanliness before seating the shank to avoid premature tool wear or breakage. Tighten collet nuts to the toolholder manufacturer's specified procedure. Always confirm feeds, speeds, and depth-of-cut parameters against OSG published cutting data for the VGM6 series before initiating a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXO\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\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\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VGM6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches L x 0.38 inches W x 0.38 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 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: VGM6-0013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748119609650,"sku":"VGM6-0013","price":81.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/476375a7f4b875bc0656bf8e851e8554_721abfeb-789b-4243-84de-6d359de2376a.jpg?v=1788889295","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm6-0013-square-end-mill-0-25-in-6-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
