Value Collection 6-901-030 Square-shoulder End Mill 2in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6-901-030 is an indexable square-shoulder end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 2-inch cutting diameter and a maximum depth of cut of 0.656 inches, this tool is built for productive shoulder and face milling passes. The 3/4-inch Weldon flat shank provides positive drive and resistance to pullout under load. It accepts TPC 32, TPG 32, and TPU 32 insert styles, giving machinists flexibility in choosing insert geometry and coating for the material at hand. At 3-1/4 inches overall length, it is sized for use in standard vertical machining centers and knee mills.

This end mill is suited for production and job-shop environments where square-shoulder profiling, slotting, and step milling are common operations. The 3-flute, 3-insert configuration supports chip clearance while maintaining a balance between metal removal rate and surface finish quality. It is typically installed by machinists or tool-and-die specialists setting up CNC or manual milling machines running ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 2-inch cutting diameter for wide radial engagement on square-shoulder passes
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.656 inches per pass
• Weldon flat shank eliminates rotational slippage in standard end mill holders
• Screw-clamped insert retention for secure, repeatable indexing
• 3-insert, 3-flute layout balances chip evacuation with cutting efficiency
• Compatible with TPC 32, TPG 32, and TPU 32 insert styles for broad tooling flexibility

Compatibility

Accepts TPC 32, TPG 32, and TPU 32 insert styles. Uses a TPG toolholder configuration. Compatible with standard 3/4-inch Weldon flat end mill holders on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Seat the Weldon flat securely against the set screw in the holder to prevent axial pullout during cutting. Verify insert seating and screw torque before initiating a cut, and inspect insert edges for wear at regular intervals per shop practice.
