Value Collection 720-1047 Square End Mill 9/16 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1047 is a single-end, 2-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and production environments. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it features a 9/16-inch cutting diameter and a 1-1/8-inch length of cut. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and balanced cutting forces. With a 1/2-inch shank diameter and a 3-1/8-inch overall length, this tool mounts in standard end mill holders and collet chucks. It is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators performing slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling cuts.

This end mill is suited for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Its center-cutting capability allows it to plunge directly into workpiece material, making it practical for both slot milling and contour work. The regular-length configuration fits standard spindle setups without the need for extended reach tooling. Typical applications include manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and bridgeport-style equipment operating in job shop or maintenance machining settings.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting pressure
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating to chip or delaminate during regrinding
• Single-end configuration with 2 flutes for open chip gullets and efficient material removal
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits widely available collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch square end mill compatible with any milling machine spindle or toolholder accepting a 1/2-inch shank diameter, including ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and Weldon-style holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Power off and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the end mill. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the set screw or collet nut is torqued per the toolholder specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and never exceed the machine spindle speed recommended for the workpiece material and tool diameter.
