Value Collection 720-1103 Square End Mill 1 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1103 is a single-end, two-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and manufacturing environments. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 1-inch cutting diameter and a 1-1/2-inch length of cut. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation and delivers clean shoulder and slot cuts. Center-cutting capability allows direct plunging into workpiece material without a pre-drilled entry hole. This tool is installed and operated by machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators working with vertical milling machines and machining centers.

This end mill is suited for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials. The regular-length profile and 3/4-inch straight shank accommodate standard collets and end mill holders found on knee mills, vertical machining centers, and similar equipment. It is a practical choice for slotting, profiling, and face milling tasks where a cost-effective HSS tool meets the application requirements.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• 1-inch cutting diameter with 1-1/2-inch length of cut for general slotting and profiling
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slot milling and plunge entry applications
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge cuts without pre-drilling
• 30-degree right-hand helix for smooth cutting action and reduced chatter
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating compatibility concerns for re-sharpening

Compatibility

Compatible with standard 3/4-inch end mill holders and collet chucks on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers. Rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials per the Series VCCC-HSS-2 specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the end mill. Secure the 3/4-inch shank fully within the holder to the minimum insertion depth specified by the holder manufacturer — insufficient engagement is a common cause of tool pullout. Verify spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before beginning a cut.
