Value Collection 720-1019 Square End Mill 17/64 in 2 Fl Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1019 is a single-end square end mill designed for material removal and profiling in metalworking applications. Ground from M2 high speed steel, it features a 17/64 inch (0.2656 inch) cutting diameter, a 9/16 inch (0.5625 inch) length of cut, and a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix. With 2 right-hand flutes and a bright uncoated finish, this end mill is suited for slotting, side milling, and peripheral milling on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It is a regular-length tool in the VCCC-HSS-2 series and ships as a single unit.

This end mill is appropriate for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials in conventional milling setups. It is center-cutting, which allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard end mill holders and collet chucks found on knee mills, CNC machining centers, and manual milling machines in job shop and maintenance machining environments. Machinists and toolmakers working in fabrication, repair, or production contexts are the primary installers of this tool type.

Key Features

• 17/64 inch cutting diameter with 9/16 inch length of cut for moderate-depth milling passes
• M2 high speed steel construction provides good toughness and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• 2 right-hand spiral flutes at 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling where coating is not required
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits common end mill holders and collet chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill compatible with standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter. Rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials as noted in the manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolmaker using an appropriate end mill holder or collet chuck rated for the 3/8 inch shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is isolated before loading or unloading the cutter. Verify tool runout and holder cleanliness before securing the shank, and confirm that feed rate and spindle speed are appropriate for the workpiece material and cut depth before engaging the cut.
