Part of the OSG VGM7 series, this tool features a 3\/8-inch diameter cutting head, seven helical flutes with a 36-degree helix angle, and an EXO coating that enhances wear resistance and heat dissipation during aggressive cuts. With a 1.5-inch length of cut and 4-inch overall length, it is sized for a wide range of standard milling operations. The variable index geometry reduces chatter and improves surface finish. A licensed machinist or CNC programmer typically selects and runs this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal milling where tool life and cut quality are priorities. The 3\/8-inch straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard collets and end mill holders. The single-end, right-hand cutting configuration and micrograin carbide substrate make it appropriate for finish passes and semi-finish passes on steel, stainless, and hardened materials in CNC machining centers and manual mills. It is a regular-length tool, making it practical for most vertical and horizontal milling setups without the deflection risk of extended-reach tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch cutting diameter with seven helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEXO coating improves surface hardness and thermal resistance for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing reduces vibration and chatter during high-feed operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate provides hardness and toughness across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end, right-hand cut with straight cylindrical shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard production end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3\/8-inch straight cylindrical shank collet or end mill holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. The spindle must be fully stopped and the machine locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use and verify runout with a dial indicator after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VGM7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: EXO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 degrees\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\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 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: VGM7-0053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OSG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750615154994,"sku":"VGM7-0053","price":92.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d76d3b2ee379b3fe71cfda3fdd1afb52_21fb6f73-9500-459d-bc38-c60483e59fff.jpg?v=1788917408","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/osg-vgm7-0053-square-end-mill-3-8-in-7-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
