Value Collection 720-1429 Ball End Mill 7/8 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1429 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contour milling, slotting, and profile work in metalworking and machining applications. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 7/8 inch cutting diameter, a 2 inch length of cut, and a 4-1/4 inch overall length. The 2-flute configuration provides efficient chip evacuation and is well suited for cutting softer metals and general-purpose milling tasks. Right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flute geometry are standard. This tool is installed and used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in manual and CNC milling operations.

This ball end mill is used in job shops, maintenance machining, and production environments where profiling, pocketing, and 3D contouring are required. The 7/8 inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter for a secure, balanced hold in standard milling machine or CNC machining center collets and chucks. Its standard length classification makes it a practical choice for general setups that do not require extended reach.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before installing or removing the tool. Secure the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth per the machine manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
