Value Collection 182-6171 Corner Rounding End Mill 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 182-6171 is a single-end corner rounding end mill designed to machine precise convex radii on workpiece edges. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it delivers consistent performance in general-purpose milling applications across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The cutting geometry features four right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction, producing a smooth corner profile at a 1/4-inch radius. With a 1-inch mill diameter and 3/4-inch shank diameter, this tool is sized for use in standard vertical milling machines, machining centers, and manual knee mills. Installation and operation are handled by machinists and toolroom professionals.

This corner rounding end mill is suited for production and toolroom environments where edge-breaking and radius profiling are required. It performs well on steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials in both light and moderate cutting conditions. The single-end configuration keeps the tool compact and allows straightforward tool change in collet chucks or end mill holders. Typical applications include die and mold work, fixture fabrication, and general part finishing where a uniform convex radius is specified on part drawings.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-geometry corner rounding end mill compatible with milling machines and machining centers that accept a 3/4-inch shank end mill holder or collet chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Secure the 3/4-inch shank firmly in a properly sized collet or end mill holder, verifying runout before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed selection.
