Value Collection 720-1211 Square End Mill 5/16 in Hss 2 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1211 is a single-end square end mill designed for material removal in milling operations across a range of metals and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Ground from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, this tool features a 5/16-inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix. It is center-cutting and configured for right-hand cutting direction, making it suitable for plunge entry as well as peripheral milling. Machinists and toolroom operators working with manual mills, knee mills, or CNC machining centers will find this a practical general-purpose end mill for everyday stock removal work.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials in general machining environments. The 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in both manual and CNC setups. With a regular-length classification and a 3-5/16-inch overall length, it fits within typical tool-length offsets for short-reach applications. It is part of the VCCC-HSS-2 series and is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for reliable wear resistance in general machining
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a variety of materials
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flutes promote chip evacuation during cuts
• Single-end configuration with a 3/8-inch shank for standard collet compatibility
• 2-flute geometry provides clearance for chip removal in softer and gummy materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 3/8-inch shank diameter. Compatible workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom personnel using appropriate end mill holders or collet chucks sized to the 3/8-inch shank. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Confirm runout and tool projection before initiating a cut. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
