Value Collection 720-1153 Square End Mill 2 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1153 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for material removal in milling operations on machining centers and manual mills. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 2 inch cutting diameter and a 30-degree helix angle across two spiral flutes. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as conventional peripheral and slot milling. At 3.875 inches overall length with a 1.625 inch length of cut, this is a regular-length tool suited to standard-reach milling work. A licensed machinist or CNC operator installs and runs this tooling.

This end mill is intended for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials. The two-flute configuration provides excellent chip clearance in softer materials and non-ferrous alloys while still handling ferrous workpieces. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation are standard for conventional milling setups. It fits applications where a 0.75 inch shank diameter is required by the collet, end mill holder, or toolholder in use.

Key Features

• 2 inch cutting diameter with 1.625 inch length of cut for standard-depth milling passes
• M2 high speed steel construction — suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and effective chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Bright uncoated finish — compatible with cutting fluids and general-purpose milling applications
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute — standard orientation for most milling machines and machining centers

Compatibility

Designed for use in milling machines, machining centers, and manual knee mills that accept a 0.75 inch shank diameter end mill holder or collet. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the machine powered down before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the holder or collet per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and verify runout with a dial indicator when precision is required.
