It features a 5\/8 inch diameter cutting profile with six flutes and a 37-degree helix angle, delivering smooth chip evacuation and stable tool engagement at higher feed rates. The EXO coating provides enhanced surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life in abrasive cutting conditions. The micrograin carbide substrate supports rigidity at depth while resisting edge chipping. This end mill is installed and run by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, production facilities, and precision manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VGM6-0105 is suited for peripheral and slot milling in steel, stainless steel, and similar ferrous alloys where tool deflection and heat buildup are primary concerns. With a 1-9\/16 inch length of cut and 3-1\/2 inch overall length, it fits standard toolholders used in vertical machining centers and CNC mills. The straight cylindrical shank accepts ER collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and Weldon-style side-lock holders sized for 5\/8 inch tooling. Variable index flute spacing reduces harmonic chatter during heavy cuts, improving surface finish consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix-flute configuration supports high feed rates and improved surface finish in steel and hardened materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e37-degree right-hand helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXO coating delivers elevated surface hardness and thermal resistance for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index flute geometry reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during aggressive cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate provides edge strength and resistance to chipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard 5\/8 inch ER, shrink-fit, and side-lock toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 5\/8 inch toolholders on CNC vertical machining centers and manual knee mills; part of the OSG VGM6 series for milling ferrous alloys and hardened steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an E-stop or locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder and torque the retention nut to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut; excessive runout accelerates edge wear and can cause premature tool failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 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: 1-9\/16 inches (1.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches (3.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches (0.6250 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 (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\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\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 Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.53 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches x 0.94 inches x 0.94 inches\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: VGM6-0105\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728763879730,"sku":"VGM6-0105","price":258.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/476375a7f4b875bc0656bf8e851e8554_348db7b9-a3d5-4831-a279-ca08d2e3bd48.jpg?v=1788695978","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm6-0105-square-end-mill-5-8-in-6-flute-carbide-exo","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
