Value Collection 27655 Square End Mill 3/4 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 27655 is a single-end square end mill designed for milling flat surfaces, slots, and shoulders in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it features a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1-5/16 inch length of cut, and a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix. The two-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation in general-purpose milling applications. This tool is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry into workpieces. Machinists, toolroom operators, and CNC programmers use this type of end mill for profiling, contouring, and slotting operations on manual or CNC milling machines.

This end mill suits general shop use across light manufacturing, toolroom work, and maintenance machining environments. The 3/4 inch shank diameter matches standard ER and CAT collet and toolholder systems common in vertical milling machine spindles. The 3-7/16 inch overall length provides adequate reach for standard-depth operations without requiring extended-reach tooling. The bright finish makes it well suited for aluminum, mild steel, and similar materials where coating is not critical.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose milling
• Two-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and plunge cuts
• 30-degree right-hand helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for aluminum, mild steel, and soft alloys
• Single-end configuration; shank diameter matches cutting diameter at 3/4 inch

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for standard 3/4 inch collet and toolholder systems used in vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be powered down and the tool changer or spindle locked before installing or removing the end mill. Use the correct collet or toolholder rated for a 3/4 inch shank and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges before use and confirm runout is within acceptable limits for the operation.
