Value Collection 720-1219 Square End Mill 3/8 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1219 is a square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shop and production environments. It is manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and features a 2-flute, right-hand spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle. The cutting diameter is 0.375 inches, the length of cut is 1.5 inches, and the overall length is 3.25 inches with a matching 0.375-inch shank diameter. Centercutting geometry allows the tool to plunge directly into the workpiece. This end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, tool rooms, and light manufacturing settings.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials. Its regular-length profile makes it a practical general-purpose choice for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in both manual and CNC milling machines. The single-end configuration and 3.25-inch overall length keep rigidity high in standard reach setups. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional milling spindle rotation.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and plunge operations
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency and surface finish
• Centercutting capability enables direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for use in standard milling spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch shank end mill compatible with 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders on manual knee mills, benchtop mills, and CNC machining centers. Suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully powered down and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Use an appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.375-inch shank diameter and torque the retention mechanism according to the holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut.
