Value Collection 230840 Square End Mill 1-1/4 in 6 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230840 is a carbide-tipped square end mill designed for milling operations requiring a rigid, multi-flute cutting tool. With a 1-1/4 inch mill diameter, six spiral flutes, and a right-hand cut with right-hand flute orientation, this end mill delivers consistent material removal in a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous machining applications. The 1 inch straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard milling chucks and collets. This is a single-end, uncoated tool with a regular length classification. It is installed and used by machinists, toolroom operators, and CNC setup technicians working with vertical milling machines and machining centers.

This end mill is suited for face milling, slotting, and peripheral milling in production and toolroom environments. The 1-1/4 inch length of cut and 4-1/4 inch overall length make it appropriate for moderate-depth passes in materials such as steel, cast iron, and aluminum. The 6-degree helix angle and non-centercutting geometry indicate this tool is optimized for side milling rather than plunge cutting. It ships as a single unit and is a standard catalog offering for shops that require a reliable general-purpose end mill at this diameter.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch mill diameter with a diameter tolerance of +0.002 / -0.000 inches for predictable fit in tight-tolerance work
• 6 spiral flutes for improved surface finish and chip evacuation versus 4-flute designs
• Carbide-tipped construction provides heat resistance and edge durability beyond high-speed steel
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute orientation compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Non-centercutting design — suited for side milling, slotting, and peripheral passes
• 1 inch straight-cylindrical shank fits common milling chucks and ER collet holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for standard vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers accepting a 1 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully within the collet or chuck to the recommended engagement depth before torquing the holder. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the cut. Never use this non-centercutting tool for direct plunge operations without a pre-drilled pilot hole or ramping entry.
