Value Collection 720-1099 Square End Mill 1 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1099 is a single-end, square-profile 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 delivers reliable cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool features a 1-inch diameter cutting face, a 1-1/2-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle with two right-hand spiral flutes. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry, and mounts on a 1/2-inch diameter shank. Machinists and CNC operators install this end mill in vertical and horizontal milling machines for slotting, profiling, and contouring work.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials in both manual and CNC milling applications. The regular-length geometry makes it a practical choice for standard-depth pocketing and face milling operations where extended reach is not required. Its fractional-inch sizing fits common collets, end mill holders, and Weldon-shank toolholders found in most shop setups.

Key Features

• 1-inch milling diameter with a 1-1/2-inch length of cut for standard-depth passes
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral design at 30-degree helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry in aluminum and non-ferrous applications
• Single-end configuration on a 1/2-inch shank with 3-1/2-inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tooling for standard 1/2-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and Weldon-shank toolholders in vertical or horizontal milling machines accepting fractional-inch HSS end mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Secure the shank fully in the toolholder to the recommended engagement depth and verify runout before cutting. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Do not exceed the rated cutting parameters for the workpiece material or attempt side-loading cuts that exceed the length-of-cut rating.
