Value Collection 182-6072 Corner Rounding End Mill 5/8 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 182-6072 is a single-end corner rounding end mill designed to machine a consistent radius on workpiece edges in milling operations. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, this tool features a 5/8-inch mill diameter, a 3/8-inch shank diameter, and four flutes ground for right-hand cutting with a right-hand flute direction. The 0.10 mm corner radius makes it suited for fine edge-break and light corner-rounding passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators select this geometry for finishing operations where a controlled, repeatable radius profile is required on part edges.

This end mill fits standard milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills equipped with an R8 or other collet system sized for a 3/8-inch shank. It is appropriate for light to moderate material removal on carbon steels, alloy steels, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. The single-end configuration is standard for toolroom and production applications where the tool is replaced rather than re-indexed. Typical uses include edge preparation, deburring profiles, and decorative or functional corner radii on machined components.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction provides good wear resistance and toughness across a range of workpiece materials
• 4-flute geometry supports a smooth surface finish on corner-rounding passes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling spindle compatibility
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy of the radius form
• Single-end design for straightforward tool replacement without re-indexing
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits widely available collets and tool holders

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-run corner rounding end mill for standard milling setups accepting a 3/8-inch shank. No specific machine or system compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the 3/8-inch shank in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the machine manufacturer's specification. Inspect the collet bore and shank for chips or burrs before seating the tool. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling, in accordance with applicable machine safety standards.
