Value Collection 720-1033 Square End Mill 3/8in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1033 is a single-end, two-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and fabrication environments. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tool measures 3/8 inches in diameter with a 9/16-inch length of cut and a 2-5/16-inch overall length. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action across a range of workpiece materials. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry as well as standard peripheral and slot milling. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this type of end mill.

This end mill is suited for light to medium milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Its regular-length profile and 3/8-inch straight shank make it compatible with standard collet chucks, end mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders commonly found on vertical milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers. The uncoated M2 HSS construction is a practical choice for lower-speed setups or when re-sharpening in-house is a priority.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow and reduced chatter
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids or re-sharpening programs
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cutting direction
• Regular-length body fits standard milling tool holders without extended-reach adapters

Compatibility

Designed for use with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The 3/8-inch straight shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting 3/8-inch tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with milling machine setup and speeds-and-feeds selection. Secure the shank fully in a clean, properly sized collet or holder and torque the retention hardware to machine manufacturer specifications before running. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting tooling. Do not exceed the end mill manufacturer's recommended depth of cut or radial engagement for the workpiece material being machined.
