Value Collection 720-1145 Square End Mill 1-3/4 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1145 is a single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations across a range of metals and non-ferrous materials. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it features a 1.75-inch cutting diameter, a 1.625-inch length of cut, and a 2-flute spiral geometry with a 30-degree right-hand helix. The 0.75-inch shank diameter and 3.875-inch overall length make it compatible with standard vertical milling setups. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom professionals working with manual mills, CNC knee mills, and similar machine tool platforms.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. The 2-flute configuration provides good chip clearance, making it appropriate for applications requiring adequate chip evacuation without coolant-through capability. It is a right-hand cutting, right-hand flute tool with a regular-length designation, appropriate for general-purpose shop use where extended reach is not required.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across common metalworking applications
• 1.75-inch mill diameter with 1.625-inch length of cut for substantial material removal
• 2-flute spiral geometry with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpiece
• Single-end design with 0.75-inch straight shank for standard collet or end mill holder mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials as a general-purpose OEM-style single-end square end mill in fractional inch tooling setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the 0.75-inch shank in a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or set-screw holder before operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after mounting to confirm proper seating and minimize tool wear.
