Value Collection 720-1137 Square End Mill 1-1/2in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1137 is a single-end, two-flute square end mill designed for milling operations across a broad range of metalworking applications. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this end mill features a 1.5-inch cutting diameter, a 1.625-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry. The centercutting design allows plunge entry into the workpiece, expanding versatility for slotting, profiling, and pocketing tasks. With a 1-inch shank diameter and 4.125-inch overall length, it fits standard milling machine spindles and CNC machining center tool holders used in production and maintenance shop environments.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals in both manual and CNC milling setups. The regular-length body and right-hand cut direction make it a practical general-purpose tool for machinists handling face milling, peripheral milling, and step milling on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It is appropriate for job shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments where a reliable uncoated HSS end mill is needed for medium-duty stock removal.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction provides good wear resistance and toughness across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge cutting without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid on a wide range of workpiece materials
• Single-end configuration with 1-inch shank diameter for secure tool holding in standard collets and end mill holders
• Regular-length series (VCCC-HSS-2) balances reach and rigidity for general milling tasks

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Compatible with milling machine spindles and tool holders accepting a 1-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the machine fully powered down and spindle at a complete stop. Secure the shank fully into a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use. Cutting fluid or coolant application is recommended when milling steel and stainless steel to manage heat and extend tool life.
