Value Collection 720-1425 Ball End Mill 13/16 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1425 is a single-end ball end mill designed for milling contoured surfaces, slots, and three-dimensional profiles in metal and general-purpose materials. The ball-nose geometry allows smooth blending of curved features and radii. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this end mill suits conventional milling operations where carbide tooling is not required. It carries a 13/16-inch (0.8125 inch) cutting diameter, a 2-inch length of cut, and a 3/4-inch shank diameter, making it compatible with standard milling chucks and collet systems. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this cutter.

This end mill is suited for use on knee mills, vertical machining centers, and manual milling machines operating on ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The right-hand cutting direction and right-hand spiral flute configuration are standard for conventional milling spindles. With a 4-1/4-inch overall length and a standard-length designation, it fits most production and maintenance machining environments without the rigidity concerns associated with extended-reach tooling. The bright finish makes it a practical choice for general shop use where coating is not required for the material being cut.

Key Features

• Ball-nose geometry for contouring, radii blending, and 3D profile milling
• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and resistance to shock loads
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and plunge operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for standard milling spindle compatibility
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose and ferrous applications
• Single-end configuration with 3/4-inch shank for secure chuck or collet holding

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank single-end ball end mill for use in milling machines, machining centers, and similar equipment accepting a 3/4-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the end mill. Secure the 3/4-inch shank fully within the collet or chuck to the recommended engagement depth and verify runout before beginning a cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use.
