Value Collection 720-1007 Square End Mill 11/64 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1007 is a single-end, square-profile end mill ground from M2 high speed steel and finished bright/uncoated. It carries an 11/64 inch (0.1719 inch) cutting diameter with a 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) length of cut and a 2-5/16 inch overall length. Two right-hand spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle clear chips efficiently and generate a clean square shoulder in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals reach for this geometry when slotting, profiling, or peripheral milling at small diameters where rigidity and edge retention in M2 steel are priorities.

This end mill is suited to milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders common on knee mills, CNC machining centers, and benchtop mills used in production, maintenance, and job-shop environments. The regular-length body keeps deflection low at this diameter, making it appropriate for finishing passes and precise feature work where dimensional accuracy matters.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction provides good toughness and edge retention across a broad range of cutting conditions
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral design promotes chip evacuation in slotting and pocket milling
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling
• Bright/uncoated finish suits applications where coating interaction with the workpiece or cutting fluid is a concern
• Single-end configuration with 3/8 inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on manual knee mills, CNC vertical machining centers, and similar milling equipment. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or qualified toolroom technician. Before mounting, ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or holder and torque the retention nut to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, and confirm that cutting speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and depth of cut.
