Value Collection 720-1073 Square End Mill 13/16 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1073 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum. Ground from M2 high speed steel and left uncoated with a bright finish, this tool delivers consistent cutting performance in standard machining environments. The 2-flute geometry with a 30-degree right-hand helix provides efficient chip evacuation and works well for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. With a 13/16 inch (0.8125 inch) cutting diameter, a 1-1/2 inch length of cut, and a 5/8 inch shank diameter, the 720-1073 fits standard end mill holders and collet chucks in vertical mills and machining centers.

This end mill is suited for job shops, maintenance machinists, and production environments where a reliable general-purpose HSS cutter is needed. The centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece, making it useful for both slotting and pocket milling operations. It is appropriate for use on manual knee mills as well as CNC machining centers running moderate feeds and speeds in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 13/16 inch (0.8125 inch) cutting diameter with 1-1/2 inch length of cut
• M2 high speed steel construction for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous machining
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral design at 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright/uncoated finish — compatible with standard cutting fluids and lubricants
• Single-end configuration; 5/8 inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 5/8 inch shank. Suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using a compatible end mill holder, collet chuck, or set-screw holder sized for a 5/8 inch shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Set tool stickout to the minimum required for the operation to maximize rigidity and reduce deflection. Confirm correct spindle direction (right-hand) before engaging the cut.
