Value Collection 32017 Square End Mill 3/8 Inch 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32017 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metal, composite, and hard material applications. With a 0.375 inch cutting diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 2.5 inch overall length, this tool is built for standard-reach slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. The micrograin carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding cuts. Four spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and a clean surface finish. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC and manual milling environments.

The VALUE COLLECTION 32017 is suited for general-purpose milling in job shops, production environments, and maintenance machining. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece, which expands its range of applications to include pocketing and drilling operations. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration matches standard spindle rotation on conventional vertical and horizontal milling machines. The 0.375 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders common in most shops. This is a regular-length, single-end tool in the Series 3200 lineup, appropriate for everyday stock removal and finishing work where extended reach is not required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before use, and confirm workpiece fixturing is secure before engaging the cut.
