Value Collection 27649 Square End Mill 5/8 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 27649 is a square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and manufacturing environments. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 5/8-inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1-1/8-inch length of cut, giving machinists adequate reach for slot milling, profiling, and facing operations. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces chatter during cuts. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without pre-drilling.

This end mill is suited for manual mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers running conventional milling applications. The 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collets, side-lock holders, and weldon-style tool holders commonly found in job shops. It is a single-end tool in a regular length configuration, making it a practical choice for everyday roughing and finishing passes where extended reach is not required.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance in general milling
• 5/8-inch cutting diameter with 1-1/8-inch length of cut for slot and profile work
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flutes promote chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into material
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• 1/2-inch shank fits standard collet and end mill holder systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option compatible with any milling machine or machining center accepting a 1/2-inch shank end mill holder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power is locked out before loading or removing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening set screws or collet nuts. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut to avoid premature tool wear or surface finish defects.
