Value Collection 182-6569 Corner Rounding End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 182-6569 is a single-end corner rounding end mill designed for machining radius profiles on workpiece edges and contours. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool is suited for general-purpose milling operations on a range of metals and materials. It features a 2.5 inch mill diameter and a 7/8 inch corner radius, ground to a right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction. The 1 inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard milling chucks and collets. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this type of end mill when a consistent, repeatable edge radius is required across production runs.

This end mill is appropriate for use in vertical milling machines, machining centers, and knee mills running at speeds and feeds suited to high speed steel tooling. It is commonly applied in job shops and production environments for edge rounding, profile milling, and finish work where a true radius blend is needed. The four-flute configuration supports smooth chip evacuation and a good surface finish on moderate feeds. The bright, uncoated surface is compatible with cutting fluids and is well-suited for lower-temperature, lower-speed applications where coating is not required.

Key Features

• 2.5 inch mill diameter with a 7/8 inch corner radius for large edge-rounding passes
• M2 high speed steel construction offers toughness and grindability for resharpening
• Four right-hand flutes with right-hand cut direction for standard milling spindles
• 1 inch shank diameter fits common milling chucks and collet holders
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with flood and mist coolant applications
• Single-end design for straightforward tool holding and setup

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for milling machines and machining centers that accept a 1 inch shank end mill in right-hand spindle configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked before changing tooling. The shank should be clean and free of chips or burrs before seating in the holder, and the tool should be secured to the minimum recommended engagement depth per the holder manufacturer. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and consult speeds-and-feeds references appropriate for M2 high speed steel when setting up cutting parameters.
