Value Collection 720-1013 Square End Mill 7/32 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1013 is a two-flute, single-end square end mill ground from M2 high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries a 7/32-inch (0.2188-inch) cutting diameter, a 1/2-inch length of cut, and a 3/8-inch shank diameter. Overall length is 2-3/8 inches. The 30-degree spiral helix and centercutting geometry allow it to plunge directly into a workpiece and then move laterally, making it useful for slotting, profiling, and pocket milling in a wide range of materials. This tool is installed by machinists, toolroom operators, and CNC setup technicians on milling machines and machining centers.

The 720-1013 is suited for general-purpose milling of steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials. Its regular-length geometry fits standard tool holders and collet chucks accepting a 3/8-inch shank. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration matches the spindle rotation on conventional vertical and horizontal milling machines. It is appropriate for both manual knee mills and CNC machining centers operating at feeds and speeds appropriate for M2 HSS tooling.

Key Features

• 7/32-inch cutting diameter with 0.2188-inch decimal equivalent for precise tool-path programming
• M2 high speed steel construction provides toughness and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation during slotting and profiling cuts
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Bright, uncoated finish — compatible with cutting fluids and coolants without coating compatibility concerns
• Single-end, regular-length geometry fits standard 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end square end mill for use in any milling machine or machining center accepting a 3/8-inch shank. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully into a collet chuck or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening — never grip on the flute length. Ensure the machine spindle is at a complete stop and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Select feeds, speeds, and depth of cut appropriate for M2 HSS tooling and the specific workpiece material to avoid premature edge wear or tool breakage.
