Value Collection 230424 Square End Mill 3/4 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230424 is a square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built with a carbide-tipped cutting edge, this single-end tool delivers durability and consistent performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and four right-hand flutes with a straight flute type. The bright, uncoated finish makes it straightforward to inspect for wear. This tool is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals operating manual or CNC milling machines.

This end mill is suited for standard profile milling, slotting, and peripheral milling applications in shop environments. The regular length classification and 3-5/8 inch overall length make it a practical choice for general-purpose work where extended reach is not required. The right-hand cutting direction supports conventional climb-milling setups on most vertical and horizontal milling machines. Note that this tool is not center-cutting and is not intended for direct plunge operations.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped construction for extended tool life in demanding milling applications
• 3/4 inch cutting diameter with a tight tolerance of plus 0.002 / minus 0.000 inches
• Four right-hand, straight flutes for efficient chip evacuation during side milling
• 1 inch length of cut accommodates a length-of-cut range of 1.0000 to 1.2500 inches
• Straight-cylindrical 5/8 inch shank for secure, standard collet or chuck mounting
• Bright, uncoated finish allows easy visual wear inspection between operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose square end mill compatible with standard vertical and horizontal milling machines accepting a 5/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware to the machine manufacturer's specification. Because this tool is not center-cutting, avoid direct axial plunge cuts — use a ramp or helical entry strategy instead.
