Value Collection 720-1023 Square End Mill 19/64in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1023 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations across a range of metalworking applications. Constructed from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 19/64 inches (0.2969 inches) in diameter with a 9/16 inch (0.5625 inches) length of cut. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and suits slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling tasks. The center-cutting design allows plunge entry, giving machinists added flexibility on the mill. Licensed machinists and toolmakers are the primary installers for this type of cutting tool.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials. The regular-length geometry fits standard toolholding setups on knee mills, CNC machining centers, and manual vertical mills. With a 3/8 inch shank diameter and 2-3/8 inch overall length, it fits a wide range of collets and end mill holders commonly found in job shops and production environments. Extended reach is not featured on this tool, keeping it in the standard-reach category appropriate for conventional depth-of-cut work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and de-energized before inserting or removing the end mill from the toolholder. Verify shank engagement depth meets the toolholder manufacturer's minimum grip recommendation. Inspect the cutting edges for damage before each use and replace when wear affects surface finish or dimensional accuracy.
