Value Collection 720-1015 Square End Mill 15/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1015 is a single-end, two-flute square end mill designed for milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it measures 15/64 inches (0.2344 inches) in diameter with a 1/2 inch length of cut and a 3/8 inch shank diameter. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and clean edge formation. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals using standard milling machines, CNC mills, or manual knee mills.

This end mill is suited for general-purpose milling tasks including slotting, profiling, and peripheral cutting. Its regular-length body and fractional inch sizing make it a practical fit for production and job-shop environments. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece. Rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials, it covers a broad range of common workpiece types encountered in everyday machining work.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Center-cutting design permits direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry hole
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose applications without specialized coatings
• Two-flute configuration provides chip clearance for softer materials and slotting operations
• Single-end design with 3/8 inch shank for secure clamping in standard end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option compatible with milling machines and machining centers that accept a 3/8 inch shank end mill holder, collet chuck, or equivalent workholding system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power is locked out before loading or removing the end mill from its holder. Secure the shank to the manufacturer-specified torque range for the collet or end mill holder in use. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to minimize tool deflection and premature wear.
