Value Collection 183-6080 Corner Rounding End Mill 1/8 in Radius

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 183-6080 is a single-end corner rounding end mill designed to machine consistent radius profiles on workpiece edges. Built from M2 high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers improved surface hardness and heat resistance compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The 1/8 inch radius cutting geometry produces a smooth, uniform corner break on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With 4 flutes and a right-hand cutting and flute direction, this tool is suited for milling operations on manual mills and CNC machining centers where edge rounding is required before finishing or assembly.

This end mill is used in general metalworking and tool-and-die applications where sharp workpiece corners must be radiused for functional or aesthetic reasons. Typical applications include edge preparation on steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials in job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments. Machinists and tool operators running vertical milling machines or CNC mills install this tool in standard 1/2 inch collets or end mill holders. The 3 inch overall length provides adequate reach for most standard setups without sacrificing rigidity.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch corner radius for consistent, repeatable edge profiling
• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness across a range of workpiece materials
• Titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting
• 4-flute design improves feed rate capability and surface finish quality
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation
• Single-end configuration; 1/2 inch shank fits common collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers accepting 1/2 inch shank end mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard toolroom practices. Secure the shank fully in a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and torque to the machine manufacturer's specification. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the cut. Inspect the TiN coating and cutting edges for chips or wear before each use; damaged tooling should be replaced rather than run.
