Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers reliable performance in general-purpose machining applications. The 1\/8 inch cutting diameter and 3\/8 inch length of cut make it well suited for small-feature work where precision and controlled chip evacuation are priorities. Two right-hand spiral flutes provide efficient cutting action and help clear chips from the work zone. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this geometry for contouring, pocket milling, and finish passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ball end mill is used in manual milling machines and CNC machining centers across job shops, toolrooms, and production environments. Its standard-length overall dimension of 2-5\/16 inches and 3\/8 inch shank diameter make it compatible with common collet and end mill holder systems. Applications include contour milling, radius slotting, and die work on materials such as mild steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation on vertical mills and machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch cutting diameter with ball-nose geometry for contour and radius work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance across a broad material range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suited for general-purpose use and regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo right-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 3\/8 inch shank diameter for secure tool holding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard overall length of 2-5\/16 inches minimizes deflection in typical setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-geometry ball end mill for use in collet chucks, end mill holders, and milling chucks that accept a 3\/8 inch shank diameter, fitting common vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the holder and tighten to the holder manufacturer's specification using the appropriate wrench. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, and verify runout with a dial indicator when tight tolerances are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\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\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 720-1401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691527012658,"sku":"720-1401","price":34.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/42c74d53318046f47cd6c854dcd50f44.jpg?v=1788286535","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-720-1401-ball-end-mill-1-8-in-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
