With a 3\/4-inch mill diameter and 6 helical flutes at a 37-degree helix angle, this single-end tool delivers clean, stable cuts in a variety of materials. The EXO coating provides enhanced surface hardness and thermal resistance, extending tool life in high-speed and dry machining conditions. The variable index flute spacing reduces harmonic vibration and chatter, improving surface finish quality. This tool is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VGM6-0142 is suited for peripheral and slot milling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a stub-length, rigid setup is preferred. The 1-1\/2-inch length of cut accommodates typical shoulder and pocket depths in production and job-shop environments. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional spindle configurations. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER and side-lock toolholders commonly used in CNC machining centers. This tool is not center-cutting, so it requires a pre-drilled entry point for plunge operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEXO coating for improved thermal resistance and extended tool life in high-speed applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 helical flutes with variable index spacing to reduce chatter and improve surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37-degree helix angle optimized for chip evacuation in peripheral and slot milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub-length design (1-1\/2-inch LOC) maximizes rigidity and minimizes deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute, straight-cylindrical shank for standard CNC toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the OSG VGM6 series.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an energy-isolated state before changing tooling. The straight-cylindrical shank must be seated to the full recommended insertion depth in the toolholder to prevent pullout under cutting loads. This tool is not center-cutting and requires a pre-drilled or pre-bored entry point before any plunge operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches (0.7500 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: 1-1\/2 inches (1.5000 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: 3\/4 inches (0.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 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\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\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\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\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: 4.5 inches L x 1.13 inches W x 1.13 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.87 pounds\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: VGM6-0142\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737162711346,"sku":"VGM6-0142","price":386.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/476375a7f4b875bc0656bf8e851e8554_f19076e5-6fa7-4f77-bba6-28e47dc27ce6.jpg?v=1788785100","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm6-0142-3-4-in-6-flute-solid-carbide-square-end-mill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
