Value Collection 183-6494 Corner Rounding End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 183-6494 is a single-end corner rounding end mill designed for machining precise convex radii on workpiece edges. Built from M2 high speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers improved wear resistance and longer tool life compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The cutter measures 2.25 inches in diameter with a 25/32-inch radius profile and seats on a 3/4-inch shank. Four right-hand flutes provide efficient chip evacuation across a range of materials. This tool is used by machinists and toolroom operators in manual and CNC milling applications where consistent edge rounding is required.

This end mill is well suited for edge-breaking and radius-forming operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials. Common applications include finishing edges on mold components, fixtures, and structural parts where a smooth, uniform corner radius is specified by engineering or finishing requirements. The single-end design concentrates cutting geometry at one end for maximum rigidity in heavier cuts.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness in interrupted and continuous cuts
• Titanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends tool life
• 25/32-inch corner radius for accurate, repeatable edge profiling
• Four right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle use
• 3/4-inch shank diameter for secure clamping in standard end mill holders
• Single-end design provides rigidity for edge-rounding and radius-forming passes

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 3/4-inch shank on manual knee mills, vertical machining centers, and CNC milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. De-energize and lock out the spindle before mounting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully in the holder and torque set screws according to the holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, and confirm spindle rotation direction matches the right-hand cutting geometry of this tool before engaging the workpiece.
