Value Collection 720-1421 Ball End Mill 3/4 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1421 is a single-end ball end mill designed for milling contoured surfaces, slots, and pockets in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 3/4 inch mill diameter, a 1-5/8 inch length of cut, and a 2-flute spiral geometry that promotes chip evacuation and consistent cut quality. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this end mill is suited for general-purpose machining operations where coating is not required. The 1/2 inch shank diameter allows straightforward mounting in standard end mill holders and collet chucks used in manual and CNC milling setups.

This end mill is intended for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and production environments where standard-length ball end mills are the appropriate choice. It is suited for profiling, finishing passes, and 3D contouring work on a variety of workpiece materials. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional milling machine spindle rotation. It is appropriate for machinists and toolroom technicians working on both manual knee mills and CNC machining centers.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch mill diameter with 1-5/8 inch length of cut for moderate-depth profiling
• 2-flute spiral design promotes chip clearance in slotting and contouring applications
• M2 high speed steel construction provides good wear resistance and toughness
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machining without added coating cost
• Single-end configuration with 1/2 inch shank for standard tool holder compatibility
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for use with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-length single-end ball end mill for use in end mill holders, collet chucks, and milling machine spindles accepting a 1/2 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered off before mounting or removing the end mill. Secure the shank to the minimum recommended insertion depth in the tool holder to maintain rigidity and prevent pull-out during cutting. Inspect the cutting edges for damage before each use and replace the tool if chipping or wear is observed.
