Ground from M2 high speed steel and left uncoated with a bright finish, it handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling on manual and CNC knee mills, bed mills, and machining centers. The cutter measures 0.875 inches in diameter with a 2-inch length of cut and a 6-inch overall length, giving operators sufficient reach for moderate-depth passes without sacrificing rigidity. Two spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle promote chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across a range of feed and speed combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill suits job shop and maintenance machining environments where a reliable, cost-effective HSS cutter is preferred over carbide for interrupted cuts, older equipment with limited spindle speeds, or materials where edge toughness matters more than raw hardness. Its centercutting geometry allows it to plunge directly into a workpiece, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled entry hole. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional milling setups. Extended-reach geometry with a 4-inch reach length makes it practical for deeper pockets and stepped features that shorter tooling cannot access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction provides toughness for interrupted cuts and older manual machinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle on spiral flutes aids chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch reach length supports access to deep pockets and stepped workpiece features\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suits applications where coating compatibility with cutting fluids is a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with 7\/8-inch shank diameter for direct collet or end mill holder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard fractional-inch single-end square end mill for use in any machine tool accepting a 7\/8-inch straight shank via collet, end mill holder, or Weldon-style holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or trained toolroom operator should mount and run this cutter. Secure the shank fully into the holder to the minimum insertion depth specified by the holder manufacturer before tightening. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing or adjusting tooling. Never exceed the recommended surface footage for M2 HSS at the workpiece material being cut, and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the material to extend tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch (0.875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel, M2 grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch (0.875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 720-1187\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691623383346,"sku":"720-1187","price":124.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d41457fb19fc0557956acdd4a5162e01.jpg?v=1788287908","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-720-1187-square-end-mill-7-8-in-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
