Value Collection 182-6049 Corner Rounding End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 182-6049 is a single-end corner rounding end mill designed to produce smooth, radiused edges on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it runs with a 1/16 inch radius and a 7/16 inch mill diameter. The 4-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality, making it a practical choice for general-purpose edge-breaking and profile work on manual mills and CNC machining centers. A 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in job shops and tool rooms.

This corner rounding end mill is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where consistent edge radii are required. It performs well on steel, aluminum, and similar materials at moderate speeds and feeds. Typical applications include deburring sharp corners on machined components, adding functional radii to reduce stress concentrations, and finishing part edges before assembly or inspection. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional vertical mill setups.

Key Features

• 1/16 inch corner radius for fine, consistent edge profiling
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• 4-flute single-end design balances chip flow and finish quality
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose cutting without added coating cost
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for standard vertical mill compatibility
• 3/8 inch shank fits widely available collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 3/8 inch shank corner rounding end mill applications on vertical knee mills, bed mills, and CNC machining centers accepting ER or end mill collet toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or end mill holder and torque the drawbar or collet nut to the machine manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before first use and verify runout with a dial indicator when surface finish tolerances are tight.
