Osg VGM6-0150 Square End Mill 3/4 in 6 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG VGM6-0150 is a 6-flute solid carbide square end mill engineered for high-performance material removal in demanding milling operations. Built on the VGM6 series platform, it features a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, a 2-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 5 inch overall length. The 37-degree helix angle combined with a variable index flute spacing reduces chatter and improves surface finish at elevated feed rates. The EXO coating provides enhanced hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life in abrasive and high-temperature cutting conditions. Machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments will find this tool suited to challenging applications requiring consistent edge geometry and long run life.

This end mill is designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where a straight-cylindrical shank and right-hand cutting direction are standard. The micrograin carbide substrate supports aggressive cutting parameters in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a regular length classification and a length-of-cut range starting at 2 inches, it handles medium-depth slotting, peripheral milling, and profiling operations. The single-end configuration is typical for high-precision toolpath work where consistent projection length matters.

Key Features

• 6-flute design with variable index spacing reduces harmonic vibration during high-feed milling
• 37-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• EXO coating delivers superior wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate provides rigidity and edge retention in demanding materials
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, straight-cylindrical shank for broad machine compatibility
• Non-centercutting geometry — suited for peripheral and side milling, not plunge cutting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tooling solution for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 3/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Use a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or hydraulic chuck that matches the 3/4 inch shank diameter to maintain runout within acceptable limits. This tool is not centercutting — do not use it for direct plunge operations without a pre-drilled entry point.
