Value Collection 230432 Square End Mill 1 Inch 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230432 is a carbide-tipped square end mill designed for milling operations that demand a durable cutting edge on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 1 inch mill diameter and four straight flutes, this tool removes material in a right-hand cut direction and is suited for peripheral and slot milling on manual or CNC knee mills and machining centers. The 1.25 inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth passes, while the 0.875 inch straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard end mill holders or collet chucks. It ships uncoated and is rated as a regular-length tool for everyday shop use.

This end mill fits typical production and job-shop applications where a reliable, non-centercutting square end mill is needed for face milling, shoulder milling, or step milling. The straight flute geometry is particularly effective on materials prone to chatter at higher RPMs and in setups where rigidity is limited. It is not intended for plunge cutting, as this tool is not centercutting. Machinists, toolmakers, and CNC operators working in general metalworking environments will find this a serviceable choice for medium-stock-removal passes.

Key Features

• 1 inch mill diameter with a tolerance of +0.002 / -0.000 inches for precise fit
• Carbide-tipped construction provides hardness and wear resistance beyond high-speed steel
• Four straight flutes with right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation
• 0.875 inch straight-cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard end mill holders
• 1.25 inch length of cut suitable for regular-length milling applications
• Not centercutting — designed for peripheral and slot milling, not plunge entry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for end mill holders and collet systems accepting a 0.875 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the holder. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth specified by the holder manufacturer, and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Do not use this tool for plunge cutting, as it is not centercutting.
