Value Collection 720-1053 Square End Mill 5/8 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1053 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for milling, slotting, profiling, and peripheral cutting operations on a variety of workpiece materials. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 5/8 inch in diameter with a 1-5/16 inch length of cut and a 3-7/16 inch overall length. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and clean cutting geometry. The center-cutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. This tool is intended for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance professionals working with manual or CNC milling machines.

This end mill is suited for light-to-medium milling work in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials. The regular-length body and matched 5/8 inch shank diameter make it a straightforward fit in standard collets, end mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders on knee mills, bridgeports, and CNC machining centers. The uncoated HSS construction is well-suited to lower-speed applications or operations where regrinding and reconditioning are part of the tool maintenance workflow.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and re-sharpenability

• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge milling
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids and easy to recondition
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cutting direction
• Compatible with primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 5/8 inch collets, end mill holders, or Weldon-style tool holders on manual and CNC milling machines. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Confirm holder runout is within acceptable tolerance before beginning any cut. Do not exceed the recommended speed and feed parameters for M2 HSS tooling in the given workpiece material. Secure the shank fully within the holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening.
