Value Collection 27652 Square End Mill 11/16 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 27652 is a square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, this tool offers a 11/16 inch (0.6875 inch) cutting diameter and a 1-5/16 inch (1.3125 inch) length of cut. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry into workpieces. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians working on manual or CNC mills will find this a reliable general-purpose option for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This end mill is suited for use in job shops, production machining, and maintenance environments where standard material removal is required. The regular-length geometry and 5/8 inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard R8, CAT, or ER collet toolholding systems commonly found in Bridgeport-style knee mills and vertical machining centers. The bright/uncoated finish makes it a straightforward choice for general steel, aluminum, and similar materials where coated tooling is not required.

Key Features

• 11/16 inch (0.6875 inch) cutting diameter for standard slot and profile work
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of materials
• 2-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for use in conventional milling setups
• Bright/uncoated finish — suitable for general-purpose applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end square end mill for use in milling machines equipped with toolholding systems that accept a 5/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following proper toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before loading or removing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after setup when close-tolerance work is required.
