With a 0.375-inch cutting diameter, six flutes, and a 37-degree helix angle, this end mill delivers smooth chip evacuation and efficient material removal. The EXO coating provides enhanced surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life in demanding applications. The variable index design reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, improving surface finish. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VGM6-0056 is suited for profiling, slotting, and side milling applications where a regular-length tool is appropriate. The 1.5-inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth passes in production machining environments, both in job shop settings and automated CNC cells. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard collet or end mill holders. Note that this tool is non-centercutting and is not intended for direct plunge operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix-flute helical geometry with 37-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing reduces chatter and harmonic vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXO coating improves wear resistance and thermal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut with right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-centercutting design — suitable for peripheral and slot milling, not plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and production cutting tool for use in standard 3\/8-inch collets, end mill holders, or hydraulic tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before tooling changes. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth in the holder and torque the set screw or collet nut per the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 pounds\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: VGM6-0056\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51746476818738,"sku":"VGM6-0056","price":105.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/476375a7f4b875bc0656bf8e851e8554_d4e30cca-a405-4797-8860-ed3cf9e04c6b.jpg?v=1788870706","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm6-0056-square-end-mill-0-375in-6-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
