Value Collection 182-6163 Corner Rounding End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 182-6163 is a single-end corner rounding end mill designed to produce consistent, radiused edges on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it operates with a 1/4 inch corner radius and a 1 inch mill diameter. The 4-flute, right-hand cutting and flute geometry delivers smooth chip evacuation and clean edge profiles on milling machines and machining centers. The 1/2 inch shank diameter provides solid tool holding in standard end mill holders and collet chucks. This cutter is suited for machinists and tool-and-die shops requiring reliable edge-breaking and radius profiling without a coated tooling budget.

Corner rounding end mills like the 182-6163 are used in general machining, tool-and-die, mold making, and production milling environments. The 1/4 inch radius profile is a commonly specified edge geometry for deburring sharp corners, reducing stress concentrations on machined parts, and meeting drawing callouts that require radiused edges rather than chamfers. This cutter fits standard vertical and horizontal milling setups and is appropriate for both manual knee mills and CNC machining centers running right-hand spindle rotation.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch corner radius for a precise, consistent radiused edge profile
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• 4-flute, right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for smooth chip flow and finish quality
• 1 inch mill diameter with a 1/2 inch shank diameter for rigid tool holding
• Bright/uncoated finish — suitable for regrinding and compatible with cutting fluids
• Single-end design for straightforward tool changes and holder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style corner rounding end mill for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 1/2 inch shank, on right-hand-rotation milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the 1/2 inch shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or locked out before changing or inspecting the cutter. Always follow the machine manufacturer's speed and feed recommendations for high speed steel tooling and the specific workpiece material being cut.
