Value Collection 720-1141 Square End Mill 1-5/8 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1141 is a single-end, 2-flute square end mill manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 1.625-inch cutting diameter and a 1.625-inch length of cut, making it well suited for full-slot and peripheral milling operations in a range of common metalworking materials. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during cuts. With a 0.75-inch shank diameter and a 3.875-inch overall length, the tool fits standard milling machine collets and end mill holders used in general-purpose shop environments.

This end mill is designed for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous metals, covering primary workpiece material categories P, M, K, and N. It is a regular-length tool in the VCCC-HSS-2 series, appropriate for manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and toolroom applications where HSS tooling is specified. The bright uncoated finish allows for easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition during use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before installing or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the holder and tighten to the holder manufacturer's specification using the appropriate wrench. Always apply a suitable cutting fluid or coolant compatible with the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain surface finish quality.
